Wander Melo Miranda

"[Santiago’s] prose is largely free of the obscure terms of postmodern discourse, yet he writes from within this tradition to provide a handy primer on what Latin Americans are thinking about their culture. . . . A remarkable series of insights. . . ."

—Kenneth Maxwell, Foreign Affairs

"The collection of articles in this edition are very well assembled. . . . An indispensable book for Brazilian and Latin American libraries, this volume is also valuable for scholars interested in cultural studies and comparative literature, especially with regards to concerns about nationalism, multiculturalism and globalization."—Lidia Santos, Luso-Brazilian Review

"[O]ne will admire the scope and erudition of such a widely-established scholar. This translation is timely given the spate of criticism on globalization, nationalism, and postcolonialism, and it is especially thought-provoking for comparatists who are moving beyond traditional European literary study into more transcultural perspectives."—Eva-Lynn Alicia Jagoe, Bryn Mawr Review of Comparative Literature

"The Space In-Between presents a selection of provocative English translations concerning art and literature in Latin America's largest country." —Thomas E. Case, World Literature Today

"[I]t is the fluency with which he navigates both postmodern and modern theoretical apparatuses that transmits the energizing effect of interpellation of Santiago's critical production, as seen in these articles. They are a living illustration of his incisive hypotheses on the unstable, almost untenable and ultimately universal position of the Latin American intellectual as witness and protagonist of the uneven, unequal and erratic processes of cultural modernization."—Abril Trigo, The Americas

"As a translation, The Space In-Between embodies the phenomenon of Brazilian works crossing borders. Another in Duke University's excellent series of Latin America in Translation, it provides English-language readers with eleven essays by Silviano Santiago from the 1970s and 1980s. . . . Santiago knowingly and incisively brings theoretical issues to bear on French, U.S., and Brazilian literature and cultures."—Diane E. Marting, Latin American Research Review

“This collection of essays by Silviano Santiago makes a superlative contribution to Brazilian studies, both literary and cultural. Culled from approximately thirty years of production, the superior selection covers the development of Santiago’s wide-ranging critical thought.”—Leslie Damasceno, Duke University

“These essays constitute a refreshing approach to cultural and literary studies by the most courageous and forward-thinking critic in Brazil. Silviano Santiago’s breadth of knowledge and critical acumen stem from the erudition and perspicacity of a highly intelligent mind.”—Nelson H. Vieira, Brown University
