Recenzii

[Limón] has proven that Chicano critics are the new players in the field of cultural studies.--Rafael Castillo, San Antonio Express-News

"[A] powerful and graceful book, as alive to the seductions as it is to the dangers of inevitable encounters."--Doris Sommer, author of Proceed With Caution, When Engaged by Minority Writing in the Americas

"José Limón's American Encounters is the beginning of a critical hope fulfilled. Cultural critics can move over and make room, listen up and encounter a Chicano critic who not only speaks about social and symbolic borderlands but who speaks from within the borderlands of race, nation, class, and the Chicano/Mexican/Gringo imagination. Limón writes a new map of cultural relationships-southern culture and Greater Mexico, Katherine Anne Porter and Selena, Manuel Gamio and Gary Cooper, Sandra Cisneros and the other Cisneros-and shapes it with a new sensibility of erotic perversions and creativities."--David Carrasco, author of City of Sacrifice

"[Limón's] approach is not only nondogmatic but deliciously eclectic, building bridges between popular culture and the highbrow, between literature, politics, and the social sciences."--Ilan Stavans
