Forming an integral part of the history they represent, the objects

Latin America, this author uses the objects he highlights to

book includes discussions and explorations of: How objects have
transformed and shaped the cultures of Latin America over the years

variety of researchers and historians Ten chapters, each beginning
with an object acting as a synecdoche or metonym that introduces a

the objects to particular religious practices, musical traditions,
or schools of visual media, such as folk art, film or television
Perfect for anyone interested in Latin American life beyond
politics and economics, Latin American Cultural Objects and
Episodes belongs on the bookshelves of everyone with a curiosity
about culture in Latin America as it's revealed through physical
objects.
