Key Issues And Debates In Latin American Anthropology

The 1990s brought major shifts in theoretical understandings of Latin American culture and politics - from the emergence of new fields (such as cultural studies) and novel analyses of globalization from a Latin American perspective, to exploration of how new technologies, such as video cameras and the Internet, have had an impact on grassroots activism. This volume aims to provide students with an overview of how scholars have conceptualized changing grassroots strategies, nationalist projects and popular culture as well as provide reflections on future directions for research.
