About the Journal
Founded in 2003 as a refereed electronic journal seeking to stimulate socio-historical analysis of Latin American Literature and push back against the relativism present in poststructuralist thought and postmodernism, A Contracorriente soon became a journal dedicated to the larger field of Latin American Studies, while still maintaining our original theoretical position. It strives to foster intellectual debate about politics, sociology, history, literature, film, art, and culture at large in Latin America from a leftist point of view. The journal is open access and publishes in Spanish and English, three times a year: Fall, Spring, and Winter.
Sponsored by the Department of World Languages and Cultures at NC State University, as well as the Center for the Humanities, the College of Liberal Arts, and the Responsible Governance and Citizenship Project at the University of New Hampshire.
Founded by Professor Greg Dawes (North Carolina State University), the Senior Editor of A Contracorriente is now Professor Scott Weintraub (University of New Hampshire).
