| Summary |
"In this book, leading Latin American thinker Bolívar Echeverría analyses modern capitalism via the idea of "whiteness"--The way that capitalism totally subsumes traditional identities. But there are alternatives. Echeverría explores the baroque, an element of Latin American identity capable of resisting the homogenizing force of capitalism"-- Provided by publisher |
