Visible Dissent Latin American Writers, Small U.S. Presses, and Progressive Social Change【電子書籍】[ Teresa V. Longo ]
＜p＞As Teresa Longo’s groundbreaking examination reveals, North America’s dissident literature has its roots in the Latin American literary tradition. From Pablo Neruda’s ＜em＞Canto General＜/em＞ to Eduardo Galeano’s ＜em＞Open Veins of Latin America＜/em＞ to Gabriel Garc?a M?rquez’s ＜em＞One Hundred Years of Solitude＜/em＞ーamong othersーcontemporary writers throughout the Americas have forced us to reconsider the United States’s relationship with Latin America, and more broadly with the Global South. Highlighting the importance of reading and re-reading the Latin American canon in the United States, Longo finds that literature can be an instrument of progressive social change, and argues that small literary pressesーCity Lights, Curbstone, and Seven Storiesーhave made that dissent visible in the United States. In the book’s final two chapters on the Robert F. Kennedy Center’s Speak Truth to Power initiative and the publication of Marc Falkoff’s ＜em＞Poems from Guant?namo＜/em＞, the author turns our attention further outward, probing the role poetry, theater, and photography play in global human rights work.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Locating the work of artists and writers alongside that of scholars and legal advocates, ＜em＞Visible Dissent＜/em＞ not only unveils the staying-power of committed writing, it honors the cross-currents and the on-the-ground implications of humane political engagement.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。10,769円 0.0(0) 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア / Rakuten
