| Publisher Description: Angel Rama (1926-1983) is a major figure in Latin American literary and cultural studies, but little has been published on his critical work. In this study, Jos Eduardo Gonz lez focuses on Rama's response to and appropriation of European critics like Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and Georg Luk cs. Gonz lez argues that Rama realized the inapplicability of many of their theories and descriptions of cultural modernization to Latin America, and thus reworked them to produce his own discourse that challenged prevailing notions of social and cultural modernization. |
