Silviano Santiago has been a pioneer in the development of concepts crucial to the discourse of contemporary critical and cultural theory, especially postcolonial theory. The notions of hybridity and the space inbetween 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 Brazilvia his publication of the Glossario de Derrida and his role as a prominent teacher. The Space InBetween translates many of his seminal essays into English for the first time and, in the process, introduces the thought of one of Brazils foremost critics and theorists of the late twentieth century.Santiagos 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 socalled 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 AfroBrazilian values.Elegantly written and translated, The Space InBetween will provide insights and perspectives that will interest cultural and literary theorists, postcolonial scholars, and other students of contemporary culture.
