Postnational Perspectives On Contemporary Hispanic Literature

This collective volume addresses the current paradigm shift in the humanities (from national literatures toward crosscultural encounters) by exploring how postnational perspectives have an effect on Hispanic literature and literary theory in the "Global Now" (Appadurai), as crystallized within a new "world literature" written by Latin American, U.S., and Spanish writers. The contributing authors are scholars from the U.S., Latin America, and Europe, who have examined the impact of globalization on Hispanic literature within their respective fields.
