By considering the political and ideological implications of the texts' interpretation yesterday and today, it attempts to "decolonize" the field of Latin American studies and promote an ethical, interdisciplinary practice that does not falsify or appropriate knowledge produced by both the colonial subjects of the past and the oppressed subjects of the present.Using recent developments in postcolonial theory, the contributors challenge traditional approaches to Hispanism. The colonial situation under which these texts were composed, with all its injustices and prejudices, still lingers, and most studies have consistently avoided the connection between this colonial legacy and the situation of disenfranchised groups today. Colonialism Past and Present challenges discursive strategies that celebrate only European cultural traits, dismiss non-European cultural legacies, and solidify constructions of national projects considered natural extensions of European civilization since independence from Spain. 410 0$aSUNY Series in Latin American and Iberian Thought and Culture 606 $aSpanish American literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSpanish American literature$xSocial aspects 607 $aLatin America$xCivilization 607 $aLatin America$xHistory$yTo 1830$xHistoriography 607 $aLatin America$xIn literature 607 $aLatin America$xSocial conditions 615 0$aSpanish American literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSpanish American literature$xSocial aspects. 676 $a980 701 $aBolan?os$b Alvaro Fe?lix$f1955-$01627488 701 $aVerdesio$b Gustavo$01627489 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827238403321 996 $aColonialism past and present$93964108 997 $aUNINA
