Description Latin American Literature in Transition 1980-2018 examines the ways literary culture complicates national or area studies understandings of cultural production. This volume looks at literature and culture in general in this hinge period poised between a too-simplistic version of the past, and an as-yet unimagined future.

Publisher Description

How do we address the idea of the literary now at the end of the second decade in the 21st century? Many traditional categories obscure or overlook significant contemporary forms of cultural production. This volume looks at literature and culture in general in this hinge period. Latin American Literature in Transition 1980-2018 examines the ways literary culture complicates national or area studies understandings of cultural production. Topics point to fresh, intersectional understandings of cultural practice, while keeping in mind the ongoing stakes in a struggle over material and intangible cultural and political borders that are being reinforced in formidable ways.
