About this book
Reviews
“This volume provides an exploration of the complex interrelation between history, culture and politics in modern Paraguay, the roots of its insularity, uniqueness and authoritarian governments. It does so through different angles and lenses, through the analysis of Paraguayan literature (major and minor writers); through a study of cultural institutions such as El museo del Barro; through the interpretation of Paraguayan filmic and other cultural productions. It is an ambitious and well-thought project that encompasses different disciplines and approaches to provide a profound as well as a global understanding of Paraguayan culture and society today. This book is an outstanding contribution to the field of Latin American Studies.” (Leila Gómez, Associate Professor in Spanish and Comparative Literature, University of Colorado Boulder, USA)
