About this product
Product Information
Every major Peruvian author of the twentieth century has written a narrative focused on childhood or coming of age. Mining Memory argues that Peruvian narratives of the twentieth century re-imagine childhood not only to document personal pasts, but also to focus on national identity as a dynamic and incomplete process. Mining Memory shows how 20th-century narratives and films reimagine the self and the nation by representing child and adolescent protagonists and their evolution, using the remembrance of childhood as part of a nation-making project. The book demonstrates how, in the context of Peru, fictions focusing on childhood become vehicles for the national reimagining and collective remembering central to much of Latin American literature. The figure of the child, as emblem of both a collective memory and an always deferred utopian project, holds special promise for twentieth-century Peruvian writers as they write from a national context rife with cultural, racial and political conflict. The book intervenes in debates internal to Peruvian cultural studies as well as wider conversations in Latin American Studies and post-colonial studies. Mining Memory provides a new understanding to both the Latin American and Anglo-American traditions regarding the representations of national subjectivities through the voices of the child and adolescent. Such a representational strategy performs a very particular kind of hybridity and temporal balancing act capable of addressing the very issues of cultural memory and fractured identities so relevant to multi-cultural, post-colonial cultural contexts.

Reviews
This book explores the representations of childhood in 12 works of fiction and two films. Tierney-Tello (Wheaton College) studies notions of gender, geography, memory, and nation making, connecting these themes to construction and deconstruction of different aspects of Peruvian society. She argues that narratives of coming of age in Peru allow the reimaging of childhood not only to offer personal pasts but also as a national subject to propose nationwide identity and collective cultural memory as a problematic fractured process inside of a multicultural and multiethnic, disrupted society. The author analyzes accounts of childhood that speak about historical, social, and political difficulties revealing inequality, racism, sexual prejudice, and profound cultural divisions in Peru. For Tierney-Tello, childhood fictional narratives offer a unique multiplicity of perspectives and insights on the past, present, and future of the national historical discourse. The author builds on Benedict Anderson's perspectives on nation forming processes and Antonio Cornejo Polar's point of view on fictional migrant subjectivity in Peru. This book will probably be of greatest interest to scholars of the bildungsroman genre in Peru over the last century. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.

Unbelievably sleazy seller. I actually emailed them asking them why this particular copy was so cheap and the reply was a laconic oh it's just a DVD. It's actually a battered ex Library copy, it arrived loose in its case and it's highly scratched to the point where I don't even know if it's going to play or not and I haven't gotten around to testing the thing because I don't want to be upset even more. The seller is out of control I need to be banned from eBay. There was no description btw.
