This book offers a provocative interpretation of cultural discourse in Spanish America. Alonso argues that Spanish American cultural production constituted itself through commitment to what he calls the ""narrative of futurity,"" that is, the uncompromising adoption of modernity. This commitmentfueled a rhetorical crisis that followed the embracing of discourses regarded as ""modern"" in historical and economic circumstance that are themselves the negation of modernity.
