* A geo-political manifesto which questions the idea of Latinity as
a sole name for the South American subcontinent.
* Charts the history of the concept of Latinity from its
emergence in Europe under France’s leadership through to the
present day.
* Reinstates the indigenous peoples, the population of African
descent and the 40 million Latino/as in the US that are excluded by
the image of a
homogenous Latin America.
* Asks what is at stake in the survival of an idea which
subdivides the Americas.
* Insists on the pressing need to leave behind an idea of Latinity which belongs to the nation-building mentality of nineteenth-century Europe.
