This paper examines the book The Space In-between: Essays on Latin American Culture, by Silviano Santiago, arguing about the emergence of a post-colonial point of view in its essays. Our hypothesis is that the relational and violent character of colonization is the main point of the author’s argument about the critics and heuristic’s value of difference. The approach described here is structured in three parts: the first and the second ones discuss the concept of “the space in-between”, facing arguments related to literary historiography, and the Theory of Dependence, for example. In the third and last part, we explore the theoretical consequences of the concept, suggesting a lecture from the postcolonial point of view.
