Divergences: Architecture in Latin America and Discourses of the End of the Century is a significant contribution to the critical analysis of modern architecture in Latin America. Edited by Ingrid Quintana-Guerrero, this volume adds to a series of recent publications that delve deeply and rigorously into the various currents and discourses that have shaped architectural development in the region. From a perspective that challenges the previously predominant celebratory tone in regional canonical studies, this work brings together works by prominent academics who offer a fresh and critical perspective on the reasons, contexts, and outcomes of modern architecture in South America. Through a careful selection of essays, this book unravels the complexities and contradictions that have defined Latin American architecture over the last century. Offering a valuable reflection on the processes of modernization and their colonial implications in the region, it features contributions from Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil. Its transnational approach and commitment to decolonizing architectural thought make it an essential read for those interested in understanding the historical, ideological, and cultural complexities that underlie contemporary architectural production in Latin America.
