The Idea of Latin America (1405100869) cover image

* A geo-political manifesto which questions the idea of Latinity as a sole name for the South American subcontinent.

* Charts the history of the concept of Latinity from its emergence in Europe under France’s leadership through to the present day.

* Reinstates the indigenous peoples, the population of African descent and the 40 million Latino/as in the US that are excluded by the image of a

homogenous Latin America.

* Asks what is at stake in the survival of an idea which subdivides the Americas.

* Insists on the pressing need to leave behind an idea of Latinity which belongs to the nation-building mentality of nineteenth-century Europe.
