Description

"A splendid volume that develops coherently and interconnects in many different ways. . . . The editors have attracted the leading scholars in Latin American cultural studies. . . . Sensitive both to history and to current debates in literature and culture."--John King, University of Warwick While difficult to define--and sometimes even to locate--the Hispanic Caribbean is fraught with tension.
