Exposing Paraguay: Authoritarianism, Cultural History, and Political Resistance in Latin America

Federico Pous, Alejandro Quin y Marcelino Viera (eds.)

“This volume fills a significant and longstanding gap in English-language scholarship on the cultural and political history of Paraguay. Comprising fourteen innovative scholarly contributions that offer insightful examinations of the historical relation between sovereignty, war and modernity in Paraguay, the book provides us with superb close readings of some of the most important innovations and historical tensions of the Paraguayan past and present. This is a major contribution to an understudied field in the area of Latin American studies, and will be a fundamental resource for scholars of the region for years to come” —Gareth Williams, Professor of Spanish, U of Michigan.
