This collection features a range of essays in dialogue with major theorists and critics of the concept of world literature. Authors show how the arrival of Spanish conquerors and priests, the work of enlightenment naturalists, the rise of Mexican academies, the culture of the Mexican Revolution, and Mexican neoliberalism have played major roles in the formation of world literary structures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book features major scholars in Mexican literary studies engaging in the ways in which modernism, co\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven so, \u003ci\u003eMexican Literature as World Literature\u003c\/i\u003e is an important book as part of the discussion that has been expanding for several years now. The effort that the editor has put into the study of Mexico as part of world literature is worthwhile, including the opening up of discourses and locations, as well as the continuous updating of epistemologies from those who address the materiality of Mexican literature locally and internationally. The volume represents one more stage in the constant progression that is the study of cultural and literary productions—both from the past and those that will continue to appear—which will have to transform in parallel with the world and its terms of possibility. (Bloomsbury Translation) * Ciberletras *\u003cbr\u003eThe 15 essays are engaging and readable, revealing Mexico’s participation in world literature: Mexican authors are read internationally, and Mexico has a deep and sustained literary, cultural, economic, and political engagement with the world. * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eAt this present moment the public and the academy are opening up to a fulsome evaluation of why we have centered a limited cultural perspective and what forces of history have pushed others to the periphery. This book advances this debate with contributions from a range of brilliant scholars who extend readings of Mexican literature and proposes new models for a richer understanding of world literature as a category. * Niamh Thornton, Reader in Latin American Studies, University of Liverpool, UK, and author of Legacies of the Past: Memory and Trauma in Mexican Visual and Screen Cultures (2020) *\u003cbr\u003eThe brilliantly argued \u003ci\u003eMexican Literature as World Literature\u003c\/i\u003e offers an illuminating new viewpoint on the Eurocentric debate of world literature. The volume exposes the world-literature dimensions of a centuries-old literary tradition and shows how Mexico only attained its place on the stage of world literature with the establishment of literary institutions in the post-Revolutionary period of the 20th century. * Gesine Müller, Professor of Romance Philology, University of Cologne, Germany *\u003cbr\u003eGroundbreaking scholarship from pre-eminent scholars of Mexican literature and culture, for students and scholars at every stage alike, brings Mexican literature into conversation with world literature from Conquest to the present, touching on multiple genres. * Rebecca Janzen, Associate Professor of Spanish \u0026amp; Comparative Literature, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003ci\u003eIgnacio M.
