Description: "As part of an initiative to enhance the Latin American Studies program, an interdisciplinary, international conference series on Latin American studies was established at SFA....The idea for this bilingual collection of essays was the result of a round table discussion.... The twelve chapters in this book were selected to present a multifaceted perspective on the concept of identity in Latin America, from the areas of literature, art music, film, history, architecture, and education"--Preface, p. 7.
