Towards Critical Regionalism

The assignment is to read through the attached pdf and write a creative summary that would answer 4 questions in a form of an essay:

1) in what context was the text written

2)for which theoretical purposes was it written (i.e., what central idea or thesis was advanced)

3) what is the argument or reasoning to advance the central idea?

4) in your opinion, what is the significance of the text to the period in which it was produced? If your text consists of fragments excerpted from a book or a larger piece, instead of point 2, describe the theme underlying each sub-part of the excerpt.
