Confronting History and Modernity in Mexican Narrative cover

Guerrero focuses on a selection of Mexican historical novels that are particularly revealing of literary trends during the last three decades. The study addresses the balancing act of Mexican writers as they trace a national identity in the face of globalization and respond to modernization on their own terms.

"The analysis is lucid, insightful, and far-reaching, covering themes of memory, inquisition, conquest, power, syncretism, transculturation, biopolitics, and ecology... Recommended." - CHOICE
