Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines philosophy, history, psychology, literature, and social justice theory, this study delineates the synergistic connection between these two themes. Weldt-Basson examines fourteen novels by twelve different Latin American authors: Mario Vargas Llosa, Sergio Galindo, Augusto Roa Bastos, Fernando del Paso, Mayra Santos-Febres, Isabel Allende, Carmen Boullosa, Antonio Beni?tez-Rojo, Marcela Serrano, Sara Sefchovich, Luisa Valenzuela, and Ariel Dorfman. She elucidates the varieties of social justice operating in the plots of contemporary Latin American novels: distributive, postmodern/feminist, postcolonial, transitional, and historical justices. The author further examines how masquerade and disguise aid in articulating the theme of social justice, why this is important, and how it relates to Latin American history and the historical novel."--$cProvided by publisher. 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a863/.70998 686 $aLIT004100$2bisacsh 700 $aWeldt-Basson$b Helene Carol$f1958-$01070706 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163935003321 996 $aMasquerade and Social Justice in Contemporary Latin American Fiction$92564801 997 $aUNINA
