Doubles and Hybrids in Latin American Gothic

<p>Doubles and Hybrids in Latin American Gothic<b> </b>focuses on a recurrent motif that is fundamental in the Gothic—the double. This volume explores how this ancient notion acquires tremendous force in a region Latin America which is itself defined by duplicity (indigenous/European autochthonous religions/Catholic). Despite this duplicity and at the same time because of it this region has also generated mestizaje or forms resulting from racial mixing and hybridity. This collection then aims to contribute to the current discussion about the Gothic in Latin America by examining the doubles and hybrid forms that result from the violent yet culturally fertile process of colonization that took place in the area. </p>
