De Castro combines a superb command of the broad sweep of Latin American cultural and political history with a detailed knowledge of specific texts and the critical debates surrounding them. This book is an impressive achievement. --Maarten van Delden, UCLA De Castro introduces original topics such as LGBTQ and Revolution, and women writers such as Guelfenbein. This is a scholarly accomplishment, a groundbreaking work that is well written and researched, a model for arduous and significant contributions to the Latin American studies field, an original way to study the twentieth and twenty-first centuries with an original approach to the concept of insurgency. Indeed, the book is a benign revolt that will contribute greatly to this arena of inquiry. --Mart n Camps, University of the Pacific
