"""Brilliantly argued and full of unique and important insights, The Other Border Wars is certain to become required reading for scholars and students interested in questions of politics, sovereignty, war, literature, and visual culture in Latin America."" --Patrick Dove, Indiana University"

"""The Other Border Wars is a text every Latin Americanist wishes they had written. It is a long-awaited and longer-needed meditation on the history of Latin American wars from a perspective informed by the history of imperial political theology and its effects on the notion of sovereignty. In the book, through extensive analysis of literary texts and film production, the clash between maps and territories is rehearsed and the conceptual difference between polemos (war) and stasis (civil strife) comes to be destroyed in an exemplary critical manner. The result is a scholarly tour de force that will change the very questions through which we approach Latin American cultural and political histories, and certainly the intersection between the two."" --Alberto Moreiras, Texas A&M University ""Brilliantly argued and full of unique and important insights, The Other Border Wars is certain to become required reading for scholars and students interested in questions of politics, sovereignty, war, literature, and visual culture in Latin America."" --Patrick Dove, Indiana University"
