Stateness as Landgrab: A Political History of Maya Dispossession in Guatemala
Stateness as Landgrab: A Political History of Maya Dispossession in Guatemala Juan Castro (bio) and Manuela Lavinas Picq (bio) The history of state formation in the Americas is largely a history of indigenous dispossession. But not all dispossessions function the same. In Guatemala the forms of stealing of indigenous territory varied over time. Spanish colonizers made Maya communities buy their own lands. After independence, the modern liberal st…

Into the Archive: Writing and Power in Colonial Peru - by Burns, Kathryn
Corral, Wilfrido H. Cartografía occidental de la novela hispanoamericana. Quito: Centro Cultural Benjamín Carrión, 2010
Best known as one of the editors of Theory's Empire (2005), the widely reviewed and discussed "anti-theory" anthology, Wilfrido H. Corral provides us, in Cartografa occidental de la novela hispanoamericana, with an analysis of the development of the novel in Spanish America in the 20th century and in what has transpired of the 21st. While it gives the Boom its due-of the five chapters which comprise the book, two are dedicated to well-known liter…
En qué idioma escribe Ud: Spanish, Tagalog, and Identity in José Rizal's Noli me tangere
En qué idioma escribe Ud.?:Spanish, Tagalog, and Identity in José Rizal's Noli me tangere Juan E. de Castro Introduction "¿En qué idioma escribe Ud.?" (142) "In which language are you writing?"1 This question, that Juan Crisóstomo Ibarra, the protagonist of José Rizal's novel Noli me tangere (1887), addresses to the old scholar Don Anastasio, better known as Tasio, is more than just an expression of curiosity when he sees the latter writing, of a…
Mario Vargas Llosa versus Barbarism
This article studies how the Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa and, more generally, neoliberalism rearticulate the opposition between civilization and barbarism, and the vision of the world that underlies it. During a time in which many intellectuals have embraced a relativistic notion of culture that makes judgment problematic, neoliberals embrace this clear-cut value hierarchy with complete abandonment. In fact, one cannot but be surprised b…

Los cuerpos de Eva: Anatomía del deseo femenino
Christopher Isherwood Meets Jorge Luis Borges: On the Value of South American Cultures
In 1949, Christopher Isherwood, the author of Berlin Stories, the source for the musical and film Cabaret, published what is probably his least-known book, The Condor and the Cows, a South American Travel-Diary. (The "condor" refers to the Andean countries, the "cows," less elegantly, to Argentina.) This book, which is fascinating in its portrayal of the cultural environment of the Spanish-speaking South America of the late 1940s, though marred b…
Mestizo Nations: Culture, Race, and Conformity in Latin American Literature
Nationality in Latin America has long been entwined with questions of racial identity. Just as American-born colonial elites grounded their struggle for independence from Spain and Portugal in the history of Amerindian resistance, constructions of nationality were based on the notion of the fusion of populations heterogeneous in culture, race, and language. But this rhetorical celebration of difference was framed by a real-life pressure to assimi…

"Richard Rodriguez in "Borderland
Starting with Days of Obligation: An Argument with My Mexican Father (1992), the recent writings of Richard Rodriguez not only have stressed the centrality of cultural interaction and exchange, but have also resorted to Jose Vasconcelos's notion of the "cosmic race" in their analyses of contemporary American reality. Although his essays havepoints in common with theories of the "border"and of the "borderlands," Rodriguez's celebration of hybridit…
