Summary	This title revisits what is perhaps the most influential literary movement to come out of Latin America and the Caribbean: magical realism, analyzing its evolution as well as its manifestations in different cultures. Essays review past and current criticism of magical realist works around the world, analyze seminal as well as lesser known magical realist literature and film, and update the theoretical discourse addressing this literary and cultural mode.
