Stuart Hall from/in Latin America

What is it about?

This article discusses how Stuart Hall´s ideas have been taken up readily, rigorously and critically by scholars and intellectuals in Latin America who can be considered trailblazers in the field of Latin American Cultural Studies and those that followed, others who undertake critical work but refuse the Cultural Studies label and finally others whose work could readily be identified as cultural studies but who have not been taken up as such. This analysis leads to the conclusion that it would be simplistic to discuss the significance of Hall´s ideas in Latin America constrained to the field of so called Latin American Cultural Studies but rather needs to be seen in more complex ways.
