"Roberts-Camps demonstrates, yet again, that she is a leading scholar of Latin American film. Where Social Identities Converge will, undoubtedly, become a touchstone for other scholars in the field. Its lively prose, one that eschews academic jargon for the sake of clarity, makes it an ideal text for students and scholars alike."—Melissa A.
