Summary:
"By presenting fresh readings of canonical authors like César Vallejo, José María Arguedas, and Magda Portal and through analysis of newer artist-activists like Julieta Paredes, Mujeres Creando Comunidad, and Alejandra Dorado, Daly argues that avant-gardes complicate questions of agency and contribute to theoretical discussions on vital materialisms"-- Provided by publisher.
