| Publisher Description: 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 a, Daniel Borzutzky, Angie Cruz, Sergio de la Pava, M nica de la Torre, Sergio Elizondo, Juan Felipe Herrera, Rolando Hinojosa, Quiara Alegr a Hudes, Lin-Manuel Miranda, scar Mart nez, Cherr e Moraga, Urayo n Noel, Emma P rez, Pedro Pietri, Miguel Pi ero, Ernesto Qui nez, Ronald Ruiz, Hector Tobar, Rodrigo Toscano, Alfredo V a, Helena Mar a Viramontes, and others. |
