Abstract

In Literary and Cultural Relations between Brazil and Mexico: Deep Undercurrents, Paulo Moreira explores an often overlooked sub-domain in Latin American studies. In fact, one might initially ask how and why Brazil and Mexico are to be put side by side. After all, the two countries do not participate in well established areas of study in Latin America, like the South Cone, the Caribbean or the Amazonian region. Nevertheless, as Moreira shows, the two countries have been developing a broader set of exchanges than the insufficient number of comparative studies between them might suggest.
