"This refreshing and original collection synthesizes the current
effervescence of Latin American and Caribbean studies, with a
particular focus on cultures and identities. Importantly, it takes
a hemispheric view, not stopping at the Rio Grande, but including
in its scope the Latin Americanization of the US. A welcome
addition." Olivia Harris, Goldsmith's College
“As a work designed for students Perspectives on Las
Américas has proved to be a success with this reviewer.
[…] The book brings together some splendid (previously
published) articles by historians, anthropologists, sociologists
and other scholars which address topics ranging from the gendered
nature of labour in the Latin-American fruit-picking industry to
Jennifer Lopez’s bottom.” Journal of Latin American
Studies, 36 (2004)
"Perspectives on Las Américas provides a wealth of
fascinating readings on a very diverse range of topics [...] It is
[...] of undoubted utility as a source of worthwhile articles to
assign to students." Journal of Latin American Studies, 36
(2004)
"Perspectives on Las Américas helps to dismantle Latino stereotypes by bringing out the profound national distinctions among immigrants, and by weaving together many common threads between U. S. Latinos and Latin Americans[.]" CENTRO Journal, XV No 2 (2003)
