Description

Angel Rama (1926-1983) is a major figure in Latin American literary and cultural studies, but little has been published on his critical work.

González argues that Rama realized the inapplicability of many of their theories and descriptions of cultural modernization to Latin America, and thus reworked them to produce his own discourse that challenged prevailing notions of social and cultural modernization.
