A new and innovative approach to Latin American Studies which makes
an important contribution to contemporary debates about cultural
appropriation and the integration of immigrant communities Winner
of the 2016-17 AHGBI/Spanish Embassy Publication Prize This book
focuses on the contemporary production and consumption of Latin
American culture in the UK through the lens of the !Viva! Film
Festival in Manchester. It offers a comprehensive analysis of how
the British press has used the framework of magical realism to
interpret Latin America for readers and applies these findings to
the festival in order to explore deeper questions of identity
formation and cultural appropriation. The book traces the growth of
Latin American communities in Britain; the popularity of Latin
American literature, music, and film in many of the country's
largest cities, including London and Manchester; and shows how
people in Britain who do not have Latin American origins consume
Latin American culture to reconcile issues of self-identity and
cosmopolitanism. Imagining Latin America presents a new and
innovative approach to Latin American Studies and makes an
important contribution to contemporary debates about the cultural
integration of immigrant communities and transnational exchange.
