Reviews
“I can think of no other Mexican thinker who has so consistently crossed disciplinary and national boundaries nor so effectively integrated intellectual and political milieus, laying bare the contradictions of the postrevolutionary state and the Mexican Left in the process. Blood, Ink, and Culture pulls no punches. It should be read by anyone seeking to understand Mexico's postnational condition in the new millennium.”—Gilbert M. Joseph, editor of Reclaiming the Political in Latin American History
“Roger Bartra is one of Latin America’s premier cultural critics. With this intriguing, provocative, and insightful volume, an English-language audience will have the pleasure of reading some of his best and most challenging commentary.”—Irene Silverblatt, author of Moon, Sun, and Witches: Gender Ideologies and Class in Inca and Colonial Peru
