"A groundbreaking study of new tendencies in television from Spain and Latin America. Innovative and timely, Crisis TV makes an important contribution to Hispanic cultural studies, taking the disjunction of the financial crisis as a framing device to theorize the production and reception of Hispanic TV in a multinational context." — Ana Corbalán, University of Alabama"Featuring distinguished contributors from both sides of the Atlantic, Crisis TV ranges across multiple and far-flung territories which are rarely considered side by side: Spain and Chile, Brazil and Argentina, Central America and Mexico. One does not need to be familiar with the primary texts analyzed in these chapters to be fascinated by their exposition." — from the foreword by Paul Julian Smith
