Review Quotes: "This wide ranging and ambitious volume, by cultural studies and literary scholars, offers a uniquely inclusive assessment of the ethnic makeup of Latin America. It synthesizes the now abundant literature on race, ethnicity, and nation in Latin America, moving from colonial foundations to the present, from the southern cone to North America."
