Review Quotes:

"This volume is a great pedagogical tool for professors teaching at the intersection of the Environmental Humanities and the Latin American region. It also stands as a useful starting point for Latin Americanists at the beginning of their research careers. Finally, it serves as a comprehensive regional survey for scholars working with comparative and interdisciplinary methodologies. Following the publication of the groundbreaking The Latin American Ecocultural Reader (French & Heffes, Northwestern UP, 2020), this edited volume continues to pave the road toward the consolidation of the field. By shedding light on some difficult questions around both politics and aesthetics, it indexes the virtues and potential pitfalls of environmental studies at a regional scale and the field of ecocriticism at large."

- Valeria Meiller, ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment (2024), pp. 1-2.

"The Handbook of Latin American Environmental Aesthetics is one of the best conceived reference works I have read. It accomplishes the difficult task of orienting scholars entering the field while challenging experts to understand possibilities yet to be explored. The sophistication and comprehensiveness of the scholarship is impressive, its challenge to sedimented ways of conceiving of aesthetics is clear and pivotal, and its futural orientation, energizing."

- Omar Rivera, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews (5.12.2025).

"un proyecto fundacional del campo de estudios medioambientales latinoamericanos."

- Francisco Gerardo Tijerina Martínez, Chasqui 54/2 (2025), p. R2.

"un libro que nos va a acompañar a pensar planetariamente esta crisis y sus representaciones artísticas durante muchos años por delante."
