Mabel Moraña is William H. Gass Professor of Arts and Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, where she is the Director of the Latin American Studies Program. She has published more than forty authored and edited books, including <i>Bourdieu en la periferia</i> (2014), <i>Inscripciones críticas</i> (2014), and <i>Churata postcolonial</i> (2015). In 2014, the Spanish-language edition of Arguedas/Vargas Llosa was the recipient of both the Katherine Singer Kovacs Prize, given by the Modern Language Associate and the Premio Iberoamericano by Latin American Studies Association.
This book provides a groundbreaking analysis of the most prominent writers of contemporary Peru, in which literary works and cultural performances are illuminated through the categories and propositions of postcolonial theory. The study entails a discussion of thematic choices, representational strategies and political contexts, as well as a daring analysis of Vargas Llosa’s Nobel Prize and Arguedas’ suicide as paradigmatic instances in these authors’ cultural and ideological development. Topics such as <i>indigenismo</i>, archaism, modernity, otherness, popular culture, and cultural diversity traverse through this book, which constitutes, more than a traditional academic exercise, a critical intervention in the field of Latin American studies. <br>
