Description
Book SynopsisIn the politically volatile period from the 1960s through the end of the twentieth century, Latin American authors were in direct dialogue with the violent realities of their time and place. This volume is a chronological study of the way revolution and revolutionary thinking is depicted in the fiction composed from the eye of the storm.
Trade ReviewDe Castro introduces original topics such as LGBTQ and Revolution, and women writers such as Guelfenbein. This is a scholarly accomplishment, a groundbreaking work that is well written and researched, a model for arduous and significant contributions to the Latin American studies field, an original way to study the twentieth and twenty-first centuries with an original approach to the concept of insurgency. Indeed, the book is a benign revolt that will contribute greatly to this arena of inquiry."

Martín Camps, University of the Pacific "De Castro combines a superb command of the broad sweep of Latin American cultural and political history with a detailed knowledge of specific texts and the critical debates surrounding them. This book is an impressive achievement."
