Neil Larsen: Reading North by South : On Latin American Literature, Culture, and Politics


Description
Neil Larsen is concerned with misleading interpretations of literature and culture which dominate Latin American studies in North America. In "Reading North by South" he attempts to correct the distorted views which have prevailed, proposing the need for a freshly conceived historical materialist approach to Latin American texts and cultural practices. "Reading North by South" opens with reflections on how North America has read Latin America since the advent of popular fiction from authors like Cortczar and Garicaea Mcrquez. Larsen argues that the North American academy tends to critique Latin American texts through a postmodern lens that ignores historical realism, contending that more attention needs to be paid to historical and class issues. He provides insightful commentaries on political discourses, cultural events, films and literary texts, and maintains that the canonization of the modernist aesthetic in the US resulted in a marginalization of writers and writing that reflect the historical realities of Latin American politics. As it analyzes important points of debate within and without Latin American studies, "Reading North by South" draws upon a wide diversity of texts written in Portuguese, Spanish and English. Of particular interest is Larsen's inclusion of writings from South America and the Caribbean, two areas which are not frequently discussed together with Latin American studies. "Reading North By South" should lead US readers to question the expectations and preconceptions which inform their readings of Latin American literature.
