El papel del lector en la novela mexicana contemporánea
By: Graniela-Rodríguez, Magda
Published by: Scripta Humanistica
This text discusses the essential features of the contemporary Mexican novel as presented by semioticians, hermeneutists, phenomenologists, rhetoricians, sociologists, psychologists, as well as deconstructionists. Furthermore, the book contributes to the understanding of Mexican and Spanish-American Literature by reinterpreting its evolution from the reader's role perspective. This volume proposes the concepts of “The Novel of the Reader,” which allows the critic to argue that the restructuring of the relationship author-text-reader is one of the basic traits of Latin American literary expression during the sixties. “The critic is to be commended for attempting to bring a major current in contemporary literary theory to bear on appropriately chosen material.”— Beth E. Jorgensen, Hispanic Review.

The Empire Writes Back: Theory and Practice in Post-Colonial Literatures
By: Ashcroft, Bill; Griffiths, Gareth; Tiffin, Helen
Published by: Routledge
The experience of colonization and the challenges of the post-colonial world have produced an explosion of new writing in English. This diverse and powerful body of literature has established a specific practice of colonial writing in cultures as diverse as India, Australia, the West Indies, Africa and Canada. This comprehensive study opens debates about the interrelationships of these literatures, investigates the powerful forces acting on language in the post-colonial text and shows how these texts constitute a radical critique of the assumptions underlying Eurocentric notions of literature and language.

Habsburg Peru
By: Bradley, Peter T.
Published by: Liverpool University Press
The reception of the ‘discovery’, conquest and colonisation of Spanish America spawned a rich imaginative literature. The case studies presented in this book represent two distinct types of imagining by two diametrically different groups: literate, and in some cases erudite Europeans, and a vanquished native nobility. The former endeavoured to make sense of Spain’s (and Portugal’s) ‘marvellous possessions’ in the New World with the limited conceptual tools at their disposal, the latter to construct a colonial identity based on their shared ancestral memory while incorporating elements from the even more wondrous Hispanic culture that had overwhelmed them.

Inner Life of Mestizo Nationalism
By: Tarica, Estelle
Published by: University of Minnesota Press
Estelle Tarica’s work shows how modern Mexican and Andean discourses about the relationship between Indians and non-Indians create a unique literary aesthetic that is instrumental in defining the experience of mestizo nationalism. Engaging with narratives by Jesús Lara, José María Arguedas, and Rosario Castellanos, among others, Tarica explores the rhetorical and ideological aspects of interethnic affinity and connection.

The Ironic Apocalypse in the Novels of Leopoldo Marechal
By: Cheadle, Norman
Published by: Boydell & Brewer
Leopoldo Marechal has become a chosen precursor of many contemporary Argentine writers, cineastes, and intellectuals, and so his novels - universally recognized but rarely studied - demand treatment from a contemporary critical sensibility. This study departs from the line of criticism that reads Marechal as a Christian apologist, arguing instead that Marechal's 'metaphysical' novels are really metafictional, ludic exercises informed by ironic scepticism.

Latin American Fiction and the Narratives of the Perverse
By: O'Connor, Patrick
Published by: Palgrave Macmillan
Latin American Fiction and the Narratives of the Perverse contains analysis of sexual perversion and narrative creativity in fictions from the Latin American boom and post-boom. O'Connor's main argument is that orthodox criticism of Latin American literature has neglected the eccentric singularities of other fictive trends in the corpus (especially in the second half of the twentieth-century).
