Reviews
“As we begin to be able to historicize the recent past in Spanish American literary culture, we can see with increasing clarity that Benedetti’s analysis of urban, lower middle class outlook, values and potentialities, to the criticism of which these essays are valid contributions, points steadily forward towards a more socially just, human and democratic Spanish America.” - Donald L. Shaw, Brown Forman Professor of Spanish American Literature, University of Virginia
“This volume makes an important scholarly contribution to research on Benedetti, to research on Latin American and Spanish language culture, and to the study of the intersections of politics, history, and cultural production. It fills a scholarly gap and is certain to reach a large audience.” - Sophia A. McClennen, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Gender Studies, The Pennsylvania State University
“This is an overdue book. ... I am left with the impression that if its insights are followed up, as they are likely to be, its publication may come in time to be seen as marking a new departure in criticism of the last fifty years of Spanish American literature.” - Donald L. Shaw, Brown Forman Professor of Spanish American Literature, University of Virginia
