In Negotiating Space in Latin America, edited by Patricia Vilches, contributors approach spatial practices from multidisciplinary angles. Drawing on cultural studies, film studies, gender studies, geography, history, literary studies, sociology, tourism, and current events, the volume advances innovative conceptualizations on spatiality and treats subjects that range from nineteenth century-nation formation to twenty-first century social movements.
Latin America has endured multiple spatial transformations, which contributors analyze from the perspective of the urban, the rural, the market, and the political body. The essays collected here signal how spatial processes constantly shape societal interactions and illuminate the complex relationships between humans and space, emphasizing the role of spatiality in our actions and perceptions.

“[…] this collection comprehensively dissects the concept of space from the perspectives of the political body, the marketplace, the urban, and the rural. Provoking thought and inviting discussion, this energetic bricolage of essays is essential reading for students and scholars who engage with the topic of space broadly, and especially for those with a narrower focus on Latin America.”
