These twenty-four essays – written in English and in Spanish – take a
fresh look at cultural identities in the Americas from a transnational,
inter-American perspective. They explore a variety of topics related to
the four main sections of the book: “Politics of Divergence and
Integration in the Americas,” “Media and Media Industries in the Formation
of (Trans-)National Identities,” “Literary Negotiations of Identity,” and
“Cultural Diversity, Hybridity, New Identities.”
