Inside the Empire --Notes --Acknowledgments --IndexThe cultural Cold War in Latin America was waged as a war of values--artistic freedom versus communitarianism, Western values versus national cultures, the autonomy of art versus a commitment to liberation struggles--and at a time when the prestige of literature had never been higher. The projects of the historic avant-garde were revitalized by an anti-capitalist ethos and envisaged as the opposite of the republican state. The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City charts the conflicting universals of this period, the clash between avant-garde and political vanguard. This was also a twilight of literature at the threshold of the great cultural revolution of the seventies and eighties, a revolution to which the Cold War indirectly contributed. In the eighties, civil war and military rule, together with the rapid development of mass culture and communication empires, changed the political and cultural map. A long-awaited work by an eminent Latin Americanist widely read throughout the world, this book will prove indispensable to anyone hoping to understand Latin American literature and society. Jean Franco guides the reader across minefields of cultural debate and histories of highly polarized struggle. Focusing on literary texts by García Marquez, Vargas Llosa, Roa Bastos, and Juan Carlos Onetti, conducting us through this contested history with the authority of an eyewitness, Franco gives us an engaging overview as involving as it is moving.Convergences (Cambridge, Mass.)Latin American literature20th centuryHistory and criticismLiterature and societyLatin AmericaLatin AmericaCivilization1948-Latin American literatureHistory and criticism.Literature and society860.9/98/09045Franco Jean387397MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967801003321The decline and fall of the lettered city4363071UNINA03984oam 22007094a 450 991097386920332120240513075556.0978152610503515261050399781526155177152615517610.7765/9781526155177(CKB)4100000011287962(MiAaPQ)EBC6224975(OCoLC)1158015725(MdBmJHUP)muse87269(DE-B1597)659370(DE-B1597)9781526155177(Perlego)1526007(EXLCZ)99410000001128796220191112d2019uuuu uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierRace and the Obama AdministrationSubstance, symbols and hope /Andra Gillespie1st ed.Manchester :Manchester University Press,[2019]©20191 online resource (xiii, 237 pages) illustrationsBibliogr. p. 208-230.

Did the historic election of a black president actually change the status of blacks in the United States? Did these changes (or lack thereof) inform blacks' perceptions of the President? This book explores these questions by comparing Obama's promotion of substantive and symbolic initiatives for blacks to efforts by the two previous presidential administrations. By employing a comparative analysis, the reader can judge whether Obama did more or less to promote black interests than his predecessors. Taking a more empirical approach to judging Barack Obama, this book hopes to contribute to current debates about the significance of the first African American presidency. It takes care to make distinctions between Obama's substantive and symbolic accomplishments and to explore the significance of both" (ed.).Relations interethniquesÉtats-Unis21e siecleramNoirs américainsConditions economiques21e siecleramNoirs américainsConditions sociales21e siecleramPolitique et gouvernementÉtats-Unis2009-2017ramAfrican-American studies.American Presidency.Barack Obama.Bill Clinton.George W.
