Reviews

“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

“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
