Description

Product Description In the aftermath of disaster, literary and other cultural representations of the event can play a role in the renegotiation of political power. In Disaster Writing, Mark D. Anderson analyzes four natural disasters in Latin America that acquired national significance and symbolism through literary mediation: the 1930 cyclone in the Dominican Republic, volcanic eruptions in Central America, the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City, and recurring drought in northeastern Brazil. Review A highly intelligent and quite fascinating study of the way in which natural disaster has been handled in a specific range of Latin American writing. Well researched, documented, and organized, and superbly written. --David William Foster, Arizona State UniversityBeyond the comparative analysis, this is an important resource for readers interested in the interconnections of textual/cultural production and sociopolitical action in times of national catastrophe, particularly in Latin America. --author of CHOICE About the Author Mark D. Anderson is Assistant Professor of Latin American Literature and Culture at the University of Georgia.
