Proposes a Latin American feminist criticism that is both regionally specific and in current dialogue with North American and European feminist practices.

“Throughout her book Kaminsky situates herself at the ‘intersection of politics, gender and sexuality’ that embody Latin American feminist criticism. Her work is interesting, informative, and challenging. Through her writing Kaminsky reassembles the dismembered body on the cover of her book to reassert the concept of the body as a useful tool and blueprint for future Latin Americanist feminist critics.” —South Central Review
