The notions of \"hybridity\" and \"the space in-between\" have been so completely absorbed into current theory that few scholars even realize these terms began with Santiago. He was the first to introduce poststructuralist thought to Brazil--via his publication of the \u003ci\u003eGlossario de Derrida \u003c\/i\u003eand his role as a prominent teacher. \u003ci\u003eThe Space In-Between \u003c\/i\u003etranslates many of his seminal essays into English for the first time and, in the process, introduces the thought of one of Brazil's foremost critics and theorists of the late twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\tSantiago's work creates a theoretical field that transcends both the study of a specific national literature and the traditional perspectives of comparative literature. He examines the pedagogical and modernizing mission of Western voyagers from the conquistadors to the present. He deconstructs the ideas of \"original\" and \"copy,\" unpacking their implications for the notions of so-called dominant and dominated cultures. Santiago also confronts questions of cultural dependency and analyzes the problems involved in the imposition of an alien European history, the cultural displacements experienced by the Indians through their religious conversion, and the hierarchical suppression of native and Afro-Brazilian values. \u003cbr\u003e\tElegantly written and translated, \u003ci\u003eThe Space In-Between\u003c\/i\u003e will provide insights and perspectives that will interest cultural and literary theorists, postcolonial scholars, and other students of contemporary culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese essays constitute a refreshing approach to cultural and literary studies by the most courageous and forward-thinking critic in Brazil.
