The book brings to the English-speaking public outstanding texts of prominent Latin American & Caribbean women thinkers translated for the first time into English. All the authors address contemporary issues in the field of social sciences, humanities, literature and translation adopting a theoretical point of view. The book offers a wide-ranging discussion of the contribution of the selected thinkers to show how their contribution moves beyond 'regional/area' studies. It shows how the theoretical and methodological innovations found in the writings of these intellectuals are essential for the establishment of a truly global perspective in the social sciences, literature, translation and political philosophy.
