New Intersections

Essays on Culture and Literature in the Post-Modern and Post-Colonial Condition

Fernando de Toro.

These essays deliver innovative and valuable aspects for a new reading of parts of late 19th century Latin American cultural critique, but above all of 20th century Modernist and Post-Modern literary production.
New Intersections is a hard-hitting argumentative collection of essays which should be considered by all who are interested in the world after the demise of colonial domination and in the midst of the new reality of the paradox of imperial globalization and the world-wide rise of thousands of regionalisms if not nationalisms.

Fernando de Toro is Professor in the English Department and in the Department of Architecture at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada. He is also Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies in the same university. De Toro has extensively published in diverse fields: literary theory, semiotics, comparative literature, post-modernity and post-coloniality, Latin American literature and Western literatures.
