Waiting for Amlo
Because of bad weather, a famous German writer once remarked, German revolution took place in music. Mexico was not as lucky. It had lots of sun-and even has a sol azteca-but still had a revolution, albeit one of which little remains but documents, films, corridas, museum pieces, names, monuments, and what is generally referred to as myth. Even famous ejido system is on brink of going out. Privatization of electricity and oil are to follow if eve…
Stollwerk or Bulwark
I began gingerly feeling my way into1 David Stoll's Rigoberta Menchu' and the Story ofAll Poor Guatemalans (1998) after having read an excerpt in the literary journal Brick (Stoll, 1997), responses to it, and the by now (in)famous piece in the New York Times (Rohter, 1998) and others, the most recent probably being the one in The Nation (Grandin and Goldman, 1999). When I finally received a copy of the book I attempted an Arabic reading of it, fr…
Remembering
Since its inception in 1974, the year of the publication of Eduardo Galeano's Open Veins of Latin America and of Pablo Neruda's memoirs Confieso que he vivido, the focus of LAP has been on political, economic, and social issues, but its editors soon recognized the importance of studying Latin American cultural productions. There was a special issue on culture in the age of mass media in 1978 (edited by Julianne Burton and Jean Franco), one on cul…
The real thing
Voices for the Voiceless
All forms of political domination depend on human construction of social and cultural differences among persons and peoples, for without differences there would be no basis for distinguishing those who wield power from those who are to it. The most potent political ideas about difference are those that are naturalized such that they seem to be created not by humans themselves but by nature. Such ideas are ideologically powerful because they asser…
Interview with Miguel Marmol, Los Angeles, May 23, 1988
Since the dawn of this century, this man has gone through hell and died several times over. Now, from exile, he still energetically accompanies his people in their war. The dawn light always finds him up, shaved and conspiring. He could just as easily keep turning in the revolving door of memory; but he doesn't know how to be deaf when the voices of these new times and the roads he still hasn't travelled call out to him. And so at seventy-nine ev…
Decolonizing the Canon
WITH REVEALING reference to Brecht, Ngugi wa Thiong'o in Barrel of a Pen stated what it is he considers to be the task of the Western writer in regard to World Literature: must expose to his European audience the naked reality of the relationship between Europe and the Third World. He has to show to his European reader that, to paraphrase Brecht, the water he drinks is often taken from the mouths of the thirsty in the third world and the food he …
The Novels of Nadine Gordimer
novels and short stories of Nadine Gordimer are acclaimed throughout the world. In 1991, she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Yet until Stephen Clingman's study of her work, few will have been aware of how deeply it has responded to the history of South Africa over the past forty years. This study traces that history. Drawing out the central themes of her work, the book follows a developing consciousness of history through Gordimer's n…
