'I found it an arresting introduction to a rich and vital field of
study, novel in its disciplinary perspective, lucidly expressed and
delightfully free of the pious neologisms that so often infect
cultural studies.' James Dunkerley, Institute of Latin American
Studies, University of London.
'Despite its historic New-World status, Latin America's claim to modernity has always been tenuous ... Jorge Larrain's history of Latin American modernity traces the evolution of this concept with that of identity, the collective cultural essence of Latin Americanness.' Times Higher Education Supplement
