“Santiago Colás’ Postmodernity in Latin America: The Argentine Paradigm positions itself among the celebrations of postmodernism, understood not as a retreat, obviously, but as the emergence of more democratic, less rigid forms of representation and resistance than those of its modernist predecessor, both in political and artistic terms. . . . Colás celebrates a postmodern rhetoric of impurity, valorized in opposition to an earlier politically Leftist or aesthetically vanguard discourse of absolutes, revolution, and clear binarisms. . . . This study, characterized by the considerable effort required to integrate politics and literature, results in a redemptive interpretation of the literary history of the last decades.” — , Bulletin of Hispanic Studies
“This lucid and accessible work deserves a wide readership; it is both a refreshing antidote to self-referential, esoteric critical debates and a serious contribution to current theoretical concerns.” — TLS
"Colás dares enter the postmodernism debate and ably takes on its leading thinkers. Not only literary critics and theoreticians, but historians, political scientists, and sociologists, too, will have to cite this study as an informed and solidly grounded foray into their respective disciplines. — Jonathan Tittler, Cornell University
"Santiago Colás’s book is one of the most richly nuanced contributions to the ‘postmodernism in Latin America’ debate yet to appear." — Neil Larsen, Northeastern University
