Resumen
Stern gives us a keen sense of the ideological polarization of Chile during the Pinochet years, but does so while specifically teasing out the notion of memory and the dynamics of how competing memory scripts about Pinochet’s golpe de estado were forged, consolidated, and modified. In this sense, his book affords readers more than a simple factual rendering of what happened in Chile; it allows them an understanding of the very emergence of memory as a culturally significant and politically contested concept—a concept that Chileans discovered and learned to deploy over time (and out of necessity) and that eventually offered a guiding theoretical paradigm for their own acts of historical self-reflection and political activism.

Resumen
Kimberly Nance’s Can Literature Promote Justice? examines the cultural phenomenon of testimonio in the context of its academic reception from the 1970’s through the present. Her book seeks to revitalize critical debate on the genre—which many in the field perceive as having run its course—by offering an alternative to prevailing interpretive tendencies. In Nance’s view, the mourning of solidarity perpetuates an interpretive fantasy—albeit nostalgically or melancholically rather than affirmatively—and thereby blocks critical awareness of the truly emancipatory potential of the genre.

Resumen
In 1991, Doris Sommer published her pathbreaking Foundational Fictions: The National Romances of Latin America. Juan Pablo Dabove’s Nightmares of the Lettered City: Bandits and Literature in Latin America 1816-1929 both challenges and complements Sommer’s well known study, which he criticizes for the lack of theoretical attention paid to violence as an equally important signifier as romance.

Resumen
Parra’s study of the competing representations of the Villista camp by the lettered city is a necessary cultural intervention that carefully sifts through a variety of mediated imageries to offer new mappings and a new critical approach to post-revolutionary Mexican culture.

Resumen
Liscano is a professional writer who, in addition to his work as a journalist, has published novels, short stories, poems and a dramatic monologue. His testimonio is thus somewhat atypical in that it is written by the author alone, and reflects an erudite—albeit also politically Left—perspective.

Resumen
Beginning with the premise that colonialism and the production of knowledge are intimately related, Christopher Schmidt-Nowara’s interests in this book lie in the versions of national and imperial histories elaborated by nineteenth-century Spanish and Antillean intellectuals. The production of knowledge and memory is a rich field that has recently begun to receive attention from historians of Iberian empires and Latin American and Caribbean nations. This welcome addition to that field aspires to be truly Atlantic in its perspective, not only by paying attention to history-writing on both sides of the ocean, but also by demonstrating the ways in which Spanish and Antillean intellectuals constituted a real field of dialogue and inquiry. Ambitiously, Schmidt-Nowara also includes the Philippines in his purview, underscoring the expansive nature of Spanish imperialism.

Resumen
Benedict Anderson’s Under Three Flags provides a comprehensive study of world politics and cultural identities in relation to the birth of Philippine nationalism during the 19th century. Anderson focuses on three Philippine writers: Isabelo de los Reyes (1864-1938), a polemical journalist and folklorist; Mariano Ponce (1863-1918), a coordinating organizer of Philippine independent movement; and most importantly, José Rizal (1861-1896), one of the greatest novelists of Philippine literature. By examining the impact of avant-garde European literature and politics on Rizal and his contemporaries, Anderson attempts to recover the dynamic yet often overlooked relationship between the international anarchist movement of the nineteenth century (above all in Spain, France and Italy) and nascent Philippine nationalism. Anderson explains the purpose of the text as follows: “the book is an experiment in […] political astronomy. It attempts to map the gravitational force of anarchism between militant nationalisms on opposite sides of the planet.”
