The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel
The Latin American novel burst onto the international literary scene with the Boom era--led by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa--and has influenced writers throughout the world ever since. García Márquez and Vargas Llosa each received the Nobel Prize in literature, and many of the best-known contemporary novelists are inspired by the region's fiction. Indeed, magical realism, the style associated with García Márquez, has left a profound imprint on African American, African, Asian, Anglophone Caribbean, and Latinx writers. Furthermore, post-Boom literature continues to garner interest, from the novels of Roberto Bolaño to the works of Cés...
The Mexican Filmography, 1916 through 2001
Mexican cinema has largely been overlooked by international film scholars because of a lack of English-language information and the fact that Spanish-language information was difficult to find and often out of date. This comprehensive filmography helps fill the need. Arranged by year of release and then by title, the filmography contains entries that include basic information (film and translated title, production company, genre, director, cast), a plot summary, and additional information about the film. Inclusion criteria: a film must be a Mexican production or co-production, feature length (one hour or more, silent films excepted), fictional (documentaries and compilation films are not included unless the topic relates to Mexican cinema; some docudramas and films with recreated or staged scenes are included), and theatrically released or intended for theatrical release.
Unintended Lessons of Revolution
In the 1920s, Mexico established rural normales—boarding schools that trained teachers in a new nation-building project. Drawn from campesino ranks and meant to cultivate state allegiance, their graduates would facilitate land distribution, organize civic festivals, and promote hygiene campaigns. In Unintended Lessons of Revolution, Tanalís Padilla traces the history of the rural normales, showing how they became sites of radical politics. As Padilla demonstrates, the popular longings that drove the Mexican Revolution permeated these schools. By the 1930s, ideas about land reform, education for the poor, community leadership, and socialism shaped their institutional logic. Over the coming...
Gabriel García Márquez: The Early Years
This long-awaited biography provides a fascinating and comprehensive picture of García Márquez's life up to the publication of his classic 100 Years of Solitude. Based on nearly a decade of research, this biographical study sheds new light on the life and works of the Nobel Laureate, father of magical realism, and bestselling author in the history of the Spanish language. As García Márquez's impact endures on well into his ninth decade, Stavans's keen insights constitute the definitive re-appraisal of the literary giant's life and corpus. The later part of his life will be covered in a second book.
Literatura, História e Memória em García Márquez
Literatura, História e Memória em García Márquez traz uma nova perspectiva sobre a obra do escritor colombiano Gabriel García Márquez, sob o aspecto da teoria da história e da memória. O livro evidencia como o escritor, valendo-se de fontes históricas, personagens, vozes e perspectivas, oferece aos leitores elementos para o questionamento de uma versão única da história dos lugares destacados e mostra a necessidade do não esquecimento dos fatos renegados por uma vertente da historiografia. A leitura crítica dos romances Cien años de soledad (1967), El otoño del patriarca (1975) e El general en su laberinto (1989), apresentada neste estudo, fornece ao leitor uma perspectiva diferente sobre a obra do escritor colombiano, que se afasta do viés do realismo mágico para aproximá-la dos aspectos das narrativas históricas e político-culturais, que envolvem as disputas pela memória, assim como das ideias sobre utopia, arquivo e poder, dentre outros elementos caros ao continente latino-americano.
