Reviews

Atlantis Otherwise is essential reading for anyone interested in classical receptions in Latin America and the African Diaspora. The essays in Atlantis Otherwise meditate profoundly upon the dynamics of intertextuality, the uses and abuses of classical antiquity, and the politics of exchange in postcolonial contexts. These six case studies are poignant in their investigations of race, national politics, and identity and each is germane to our present socio-political moment. I expect that scholars of classics, Latin American studies, and Africana studies will welcome this volume with enthusiasm. -- Jesse Weiner, Hamilton College This slim yet groundbreaking collection is a prime example of how fruitful and rich in insights a transdisciplinary dialogue can be. Featuring a highly theoretical introduction by its coeditors and six thought-provoking essays written by scholars with superb command of the subject, Atlantis Otherwise comes to expand the field of classical reception beyond its traditional literary, linguistic, and geographical boundaries. -- Konstantinos P. Nikoloutsos, St. Joseph's University
