Product Description
Exploring Latin American cultural identities from multiple vantage points, this collection addresses such phenomena as migration, globalisation, and gender, and examines the fundamentally new ways in which individuals relate to and identify with one another. The process of inquiry engages with questions of location, time and place to underscore the tremendous changes occurring in Latin America due to globalisation. Framed within two key periods of massive immigration affecting Latin America, these essays show how the migratory flow of people of distinct nationalities and cultures has a tremendous impact on the regions they come to occupy, and consequently, on the way Latin Americans have portrayed themselves in cultural products such as film and literature. With contributions from pre-eminent scholars in Latin American cultural studies, this collection demonstrates the pervasive effects of globalisation on the Latin American cultural scene through the creative expressions of its playwrights, novelists, essayists, and filmmakers. Many of the authors included in this collection have experienced first-hand the difficult process of relocation and adaptation, and are thus able to offer unique perspectives on identity, language, and culture.
