Description: "Five nations are viewed through a theoretical lens combining Gramscian and cultural-studies views with more traditional Marxism, with only Sandinista culture being praised. While a broad, anthropological definition of culture is advanced, elite-produced and -distributed arts and letters and the mass media are the foci here. A search for changes in 'revolutionary' cultures (e.g., the Christian Base Communities) coexists uneasily with dismissals of the also-new cultures of evangelical Christians. Many and varied observations pepper the analysis, e.g., the feminization of Costa Rican literary culture"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
