About this product
Product Information
Bandits seem ubiquitous in Latin American culture. Even contemporary actors of violence are framed by narratives that harken back to old images of the rural bandit, either to legitimize or delegitimize violence, or to intervene in larger conflicts within or between nation-states. However, the bandit escapes a straightforward definition, since the same label can apply to the leader of thousands of soldiers (as in the case of Villa) or to the humble highwayman eking out a meager living by waylaying travelers at machete point. Dabove presents the reader not with a definition of the bandit, but with a series of case studies showing how the bandit trope was used in fictional and non-fictional narratives by writers and political leaders, from the Mexican Revolution to the present. By examining cases from Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela, from Pancho Villa's autobiography to Hugo Ch vez's appropriation of his "outlaw" grandfather, Dabove reveals how bandits function as a symbol to expose the dilemmas or aspirations of cultural and political practices, including literature as a social practice and as an ethical experience.

Reviews
" A fascinating book that breaks new ground, even as it offers a revolutionary reading of the role of literature in twentieth-century Latin America. Dabove goes well beyond a study of the figure of the bandit as a mere artificial construct of otherness by the discourses of the nation-state and engages in a discussion of the nature of language, literature, and the role of the intellectual in Latin America." --Benigno Trigo, Vanderbilt University, "Bandit Narratives in Latin America is a must read for all scholars of the region interested in the intersections of history, nation building, and literary and social tradition." -- The Latin Americanist, " A fascinating book that breaks new ground, even as it offers a revolutionary reading of the role of literature in twentieth-century Latin America. Dabove goes well beyond a study of the figure of the bandit as a mere artificial construct of Otherness by the discourses of the nation-state, and engages in a discussion of the nature of language, literature, and the role of the intellectual in Latin America." --Benigno Trigo, Vanderbilt University, "Dabove positions himself among the most significant commentators of Hispanic narrative." -- Revista Canadiense de Estudios Hispánicos

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
