| Summary: | In recent years, with the transformation of political economies and the influence of new theoretical frameworks, especially in cultural studies, older approaches to area studies have become increasingly inadequate. This landmark volume charts new territory by demonstrating the limits of neatly demarcating the regions of 'Latin America' and the 'United States'. Perspectives on Las Americas: A Reader in Culture, History, and Representation presents key readings that collectively examine the historical, cultural, economic, and political integration of Latina/os across the Americas. It is the editors' hope that this thoughtful and innovative collection will challenge the barriers between Latina/o Studies and Latin American/Caribbean Studies as approached by anthropologists, historians, and other scholars. Perspectives on Las Americas provides a core text in a variety of settings and will offer instructors, students, and interested readers both the theoretical tools and case studies necessary to rethink transnational realities and identities. |
