Dialectical Imaginaries: Materialist Approaches to U.S. Latino/A Literature in the Age of Neoliberalism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780472053957)

Dialectical Imaginaries brings together essays that analyze the effects of class conflict and capitalist ideology on contemporary works of U.S. Latino/a literature. The editors argue that recent global events have compelled contemporary scholars to reexamine traditional interpretive models that center on identity politics and an ethics of multiculturalism. The volume seeks to demonstrate that materialist methodologies have a greater critical reach than other methods, and that Latino/a literary criticism should be more attuned to interpretive approaches that draw on Marxism and other globalizing social theories. The contributors analyze a wide range of literary works in fiction, poetry, drama, and memoir by writers including Rudolfo Anaya, Gloria Anzald俉, Daniel Borzutzky, Angie Cruz, Sergio de la Pava, Mica de la Torre, Sergio Elizondo, Juan Felipe Herrera, Rolando Hinojosa, Quiara Alegr僘 Hudes, Lin-Manuel Miranda, ﾓscar Mart匤ez, Cherr冾 Moraga, Urayo疣 Noel, Emma P駻ez, Pedro Pietri, Miguel Piro, Ernesto Quinez, Ronald Ruiz, Hector Tobar, Rodrigo Toscano, Alfredo V饌, Helena Mar僘 Viramontes, and others.
