Editorial Reviews

Review

"Jennifer L. French boldly destabilizes the coordinates of standing historiographical assumptions regarding post-Independence Latin America in her literary analysis of Horacio Quiroga, Benita Lynch, and Jose Eustacio Rivera . . . French breaks decisive ground toward Latin America's integration within the disputed boundaries of post-coloniality, at once connecting and expanding the historiographical imaginaries of Latin American and post-colonial studies."--The Americas

Review

"This is truly an important and original contribution to the study of imperialism and neo-colonialism in the Americas . . . It will be an obligatory reference in twentieth-century Latin American literature courses, as well as in those devoted to the study of nineteenth-century British imperialism and to the relations between imperialism and culture in general." (Agnes Lugo-Ortiz, University of Chicago )
