Description
Book SynopsisThis book considers how global capitalism has upset the symbolic economy of Mexican cultural discourse. It focuses on the cultural processes through which people contest ideas about race, gender, and sexuality; reframe ideas of memory, history, and belonging; and negotiate the experiences of dislocation that affect them.
