Abstract:
What image of Latin America have North American fiction writers created, found, or echoed and how has the discourse of Latinamericanism shaped their work? How have their writings contributed to the discursive construction of the southern neighbors and how have they undermined this construction and added layers of complexity that subvert any stereotypical approach? Combining American Studies, Canadian Studies, Latin American Studies, and Cultural Studies, Breinig uses his long scholarly experience to answer these and many more questions. An ambitious interdisciplinary study of North American literary representations of Latin America as encounters with the other, Hemispheric Imaginations is among the most extensive such studies to date and will appeal to a broad expanse of American Studies scholars
