Long's Fictions of Totality Breaks New Ground
14 April 2009
Fictions of Totality by Ryan F. Long has been hailed as a necessary and groundbreaking study by Samuel Steinberg in A Contra corriente 7.2 (Winter 2010): 353-60. Steinberg calls it "not only an excellent book, but also a necessary one, which promises to become a first reference for any future reflection on Mexico's democrataic-neoliberal transition as traced in the literary."
Flesler's Return of the Moor Deemed Timely Offering
22 March 2010
PSRL's volume 43, Daniela Flesler's The Return of the Moor, has been pronounced timely by Susan Martín-Márquez in Revista de Estudios Hispánicos: "The topic could not be more timely, given the burgeoning scientific interest in tracing the genetic legacy of diversity in Spain, as well as the widespread preoccupation with the sometimes violently tense relationships between Islamic and other communities across the globe" (43.2 [2009]: 421-24).
