Reviews

“. . . Caamaño’s [work] is awesome in its ambition: succinctly put, the work consists of an attempt not simply to renovate the study of theory, as it operates within a particular university discipline (Hispanism), but to question its whole basis, in the form in which it currently operates.” – Prof. Malcolm K. Read, State University of New York at Stony Brook

“. . . [this] study will stand for a long time to come as the standard work on Juan Carlos Rodríguez. . .” – Prof. Ottavio Di Camillo, City University of New York

“This is an essential text for graduate students and scholars of Hispanic Studies and Comparative Literature as well as those dedicated to the ever-urgent debate about the place of Marxism in the analysis of cultural production.” - Prof. Eva Woods Peiró, Vassar College
