Description: The purpose of this anthology is to show, through the appreciation of various contemporary critics, the relevance of Reyes' thought, his role within the debates on Latin-Americanism and to claim his role within western and regional fields of thought. The selection of authors is representative in various ways: readings from both national and continental domains; from critics in the academies of Latin America, the United States and Europe; texts by authors specialised in the work of Reyes and by non-specialists who reflect on his role in related research fields; studies of Reyes's work from literary theory, cultural studies, post-colonialism and transatlantic studies.
