Review quotes
"An invaluable tool for the understanding of Hispanic-Canadian literature, filling the gap in this important aspect of the Canadian multicultural reality." Margarita Feliciano, Hispanic studies, Glendon College, York University

"There are several anthologies of Latin-Canadian literature but none has the analytical and historical scope of this one. It will be an obligatory point of departure for any serious work on this literature." Luis Torres, French, Italian and Spanish, University of Calgary
