Produktbeschreibung

"Maria Josefina Saldana-Portillo takes discourse studies where it needs to go and where few humanists are able to take it: toward an effective interfacing with political economy and ethnography." The Revolutionary Imagination in the Americas and the Age of Development" sits at the center of the hemispheric paradigm that has been emerging in American Studies. Saldana-Portillo is one of the key new architects of that paradigm."--Mary Louise Pratt, author of" Imperial Eyes: Travel Writing and Transculturation"
