ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS
“Rabasa provides a solid genealogy of indigenous thinking in dialogue
with Western epistemes. He opens a universe of meaning
for scholars interested in the ideological richness of the first confrontations
between Europeans and Amerindians and explains the
possibilities for the production of knowledge—all the way to the
present, where history is still a terrain of struggle for contesting
ideas and displaying the resiliency of subaltern epistemes.”
—Ileana Rodríguez, The Ohio State University
“A rich and thought-provoking interpretation of how Canudos
had its political articulation as a community denied, both at the
time of its destruction as well as over the last 110 years of writing
about it. It offers the reader an enjoyable, challenging account of
Canudos as a case study of the interplay between history, subalternity,
and contestation.”
—José Luiz Passos, University of California, Los Angeles

ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS
“A tense and intricate weave that connects cultural studies with political
science and history. State failures turn out to be over-determined by the
inherent flaws in liberalism itself, magnified into outright breeches of reason
in Latin America, and by the inauspicious context that tries liberalism.”
—Doris Sommer, Harvard University
