About this book
Reviews
"This is a timely and far-reaching comparative study of creative responses to economic and political crises in Colombia, Peru and Argentina. Cala Buendía's bold and nuanced interpretation demonstrates the surprising goals achieved by spontaneous, unconventional cultural initiatives that emerge from both grass-roots and governmental levels. Culture is truly the protagonist of this story where the political agency of visual art, performance, and literature provides effective tactics in the contemporary Latin American public sphere." - Marcy Schwartz, Rutgers University, USA
"This book is a remarkable achievement. At once a cultural history of citizenship and a political analysis of the role of cultural producers, Felipe Cala Buendía crosses disciplines and genres to offer us a unique and very special study of the role of artists, writers, publishers and performers in the making of modern democracy. It is theoretically sophisticated and a great read." - Jeremy Adelman, Princeton University, USA
