Description: Representations of Mexican collective imaginaries in the face of social and political fragmentation since the final decades of the twentieth century
Brief description: Mabel Morana is a professor in the Department of Hispanic Languages and Literatures at the University of Pittsburgh and the director of publications for Instituto Internacionalde Literatura Iberoamericana.
Review Quotes: "What is most interesting here is Moraña's cross-reading of her writers, the originality of the approach, and the great lengths she goes to interpret the linguistic, political, and cultural importance of Herrera, Melchor, and Luiselli, three young writers that are in the center of the revival of Mexican literature translated into English."
--Pedro Ángel Palou, author of Mestizo Failure(s): Race, Film, and Literature in Twentieth-Century Mexico
