About this product
Product Information
The faces of Che, Frida, Evita, Carmen Miranda, and other icons represent Latin America both to a global public that sees these faces constantly reproduced, and to Latin Americans themselves. With equal parts idolatry and iconoclasm, Latin American Icons recognizes and interrogates those Latin Americans who have become larger than life. In trying to understand the meaning of iconic figures in modern Latin America, this volume ranges across every realm of political and cultural life--populist politicos, jet-setting ambassador-playboys, soccer players, and superstars--to examine the complex forces at work in the making and remaking of celebrities within and across national borders.

Reviews
"Marked by a solid group of essays produced primarily by literary and film studies scholars, this volume offers some important opportunities to examine key representations of Latin American icons. Perhaps more significantly, it frames these representations within the context of the cults of celebrity that have so often over-determined our understandings of these individuals, both past and present." -- Maria Elena Cepeda , Williams College, author of Musical ImagiNation, "Marked by a solid group of essays produced primarily by literary and film studies scholars, this volume offers some important opportunities to examine key representations of Latin American icons.

Product is wonderful, but the shipment tracking was useless! Had no idea where it was or when to expect it. It was a nice surprise that it showed up on my porch today.

Took forever to receive these from Canada.
I ended up buying a second set of these from Amazon, which, for some unknown reason, also, took an unusually long time to ship and receive these.
Got a partial refund from this seller, so that was great customer service, but was still annoyed at the very lengthy shipping time.
Ironically, received all of these books, from both seller and Amazon, on the very same day!
Still happy with all purchases!

The item took about 2 weeks to arrive. Normally I receive items within 3-5 days. The book was packaged nicely and arrived in good condition. All in all it was a good transaction.
