Through penetrating analysis of twentieth-century historical fiction from Central America this book asks: why do so many literary texts in the region address historical issues? What kinds of stories are told about the past when authors choose the fictional realm to represent history? Why access memory through fiction and poetry? Nicole Caso traces the active interplay between language, space, and memory in the continuous process of defining local identities through literature. Ultimately, this book looks to the dynamic between form and content to identify potential maps that are suggested in each of these texts in order to imagine possibilities of action in the future.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Hardcover. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. x, 288 p., 24 cm. "In this striking book, Caso explores Central American fiction as a productive site to fathom the complex project of Latin American modernity and developmentalism in the twentieth century. She meditates on what it means for a region to be considered an 'isthmus,' a passageway from elsewhere to elsewhere, a small unit of land that stands as a trope for Banana Republics, revolutions, or drug-trafficking. Rather than taking texts in isolation or reading them as representatives of the whole, Caso highlights instances of regional voices, listening to the 'sighs and whispers' that traditional historiographers exclude from their accounts. In Casos's reading, creativity becomes a tool for subverting official history, breaking the silencing of alternative understandings of what the nation and the region are supposed to represent. Literature thus plays a regenerative role and counters social complacency." - Arturo Arias. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2011200014
