Determinations: Essays on Theory, Narrative and Nation in the Americas (Hardcover)

Determinations employs a Marxist approach to examine post-colonial theory and provides critical readings of a range of post-colonial narratives, mainly Latin-American. The author argues that the national question remains an unresolved problem in this field, particularly in light of the confusions engendered by concepts of globalisation, and that the cultural link between the ideas of nation and narrative remains a fruitful avenue of study.
