Book Synopsis
Dabove presents the reader not with a definition of the bandit, but with a series of case studies showing how the bandit trope was used in fictional and non-fictional narratives by writers and political leaders, from the Mexican Revolution to the present.

Trade Review
“A fascinating book that breaks new ground, even as it offers a revolutionary reading of the role of literature in twentieth-century Latin America. Dabove goes well beyond a study of the figure of the bandit as a mere artificial construct of Otherness by the discourses of the nation-state, and engages in a discussion of the nature of language, literature, and the role of the intellectual in Latin America.” —Benigno Trigo, Vanderbilt University
