'New Approaches to Latin American Studies offers an invaluable collective account of the transformations and "turns" that the field of Latin American Studies has experienced in the past twenty-five years. Discussing significant theoretical paradigms and concepts (from cultural studies to memory and ethics to affect and posthegemony), the top-rank scholars contribute, in each individual chapter, to the construction of a comprehensive, sophisticated and rigorous cartography of the field of Latin American Studies.' - Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado, author of Screening Neoliberalism and Strategic Occidentalism
