Description
As Teresa Longo's groundbreaking examination reveals, North America's dissident literature has its roots in the Latin American literary tradition. Highlighting the importance of reading and re-reading the Latin American canon in the United States, Longo finds that literature can be an instrument of progressive social change, and argues that small literary presses have made that dissent visible in the United States.
