Review Quotes:
"Bold, lucid, and convincing, Sacilotto's Universality and Utopia shows how Peruvian indigenismo makes its own the lexicon of Left universalism . A historically grounded argument that can also be translated beyond its local context, Universality and Utopia is not only a major contribution to studies of Latin American literary-political culture, but an important contribution to the philosophy of political internationalism" - Jacques Lezra, Distinguished Professor, University of California-Riverside
