Course Title: After the Philanthropic Ogre: The (Latin-)American Scene in the US from 1980 to today “These conversations with five of the region’s most outstanding scholars of the past fifty years reveal just how ‘Latin’ America went from being a subject of what was once called ‘area studies’ to become a central part of a dynamic new vision of the global order. It is a remarkably illuminating and challenging achievement.” — Anthony Pagden, Distinguished Professor, UCLA College, CA, USA “A collection of interviews originally published in Spanish, this book sheds light on the origins of decolonial and postcolonial studies in US universities in Spanish Departments. It assembles a valuable set of primary sources on the intellectual history of the cultural studies turn in Latin American Studies in the early 2000s.” — Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra, The University of Texas at Austin, USA “This thought-provoking and inspirational collection of interviews with some of the most field-defining exponents of Latin American literary and cultural criticism offers a uniquely dialogical perspective into some of the most significant issues and themes they have individually explored and theorized about. It also provides a necessary and timely assessment of how this academic field has changed for the past three decades in response to unprecedented critical, cultural and political scenarios.” — Ignacio Corona, co-editor of Gender Violence at the U.S.-Mexico Border “This is a very innovative book, which includes five interviews with fundamental academic intellectuals, who share extremely relevant information about Latin American Studies in both American and International Academia. This volume aligns with other related essential interview books about Literature and Area Studies, but most of them are not so much focused on expanding on the opinion of key critics who openly share their approaches to both practical and intellectual critical information about academic departments and future trends in Latin American Studies discipline development. This book is a must for any Latin American Studies scholar interested in the recent intellectual development of the discipline.” —Vicente Pérez de León, Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature, Modern Languages and Cultures/Sgoil nan Nua-Chànan is nan Cultar, Hetherington Building, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8RS, UK
