The Limits of Identity is a polemical critique of the repudiation
of universalism and the theoretical commitment to identity and
difference embedded in Latin American literary and cultural
studies. Through original readings of foundational Latin American
thinkers (such as Jose Marti and Jose Enrique Rodo) and
contemporary theorists (such as John Beverley and Doris Sommer),
Charles Hatfield reveals and challenges the anti-universalism that
informs seemingly disparate theoretical projects. The Limits of
Identity offers a critical reexamination of widely held conceptions
of culture, ideology, interpretation, and history. The repudiation
of universalism, Hatfield argues, creates a set of problems that
are both theoretical and political. Even though the recognition of
identity and difference is normally thought to be a form of
resistance, The Limits of Identity claims that, in fact, the
opposite is true.
