"After investigating the structure of the post-colonial dialectics promulgated in pan-American studies in the 1990's, I turn to a set of case studies of American authors, aiming to provide comparative accounts that are differentiating as well as synthetic. I consider how the subversive narrative work attributed to Gabriel García Márquez, a model for many pan-Americanist examinations of resistance discourse, can also be found in the work of archetypal "colonialist writer" Jorge Luis Borges, the villain of many post-colonial considerations of the hemisphere. Turning to North America, I compare two writers often placed alongside García Márquez, borderland authors Thomás Rivera and Rolando Hinojosa, investigating the subtle distinctions in cultural work that set them apart not only from García Márquez, but also from one another."

"This novel (by Manuel Vicent) tells the stories of a man and a woman, who are both mysteriously washed onto a Mediterranean shore dressed in wedding clothes. Vicent creates a unique and exuberant landscape of genuine love, in which even potentially grim details become part of a constant fiesta. His work, which recalls that of García Márquez, skillfully blends comedy, romance and tragedy"
247 p., Discusses the diasporic origins of Palo Mayombe, a Kongo-Cuban religious tradition, while seeking to analyze how it fulfills, in a new transplanted setting, the spiritual needs of a given segment of the Cuban immigrant population in the United States—designated here as the “strangers in a new land”—“serving not only as a healing mechanism but also a vehicle towards the preservation of ethnic and cultural identity.”
Dueñas writes, "En el siglo XX, la fascinación con la figura de poder ha llevado a los escritores a incursionar en el mundo de lo político, incursión que ha estado teñida de tonos deslucidos: la aciaga derrota política de Mario Vargas Llosa a finales de la década de los 80 y principios de los 90; la constante y problemática presencia en público de García Márquez junto con Fidel Castro y, la cuestionable experiencia de Sergio Ramírez como representante del sandinismo en Nicaragua."
Discusses social, cultural, and political aspects of modern Colombia. Quotes and refers to Gabriel García Márquez in discussing the potential for the future of Colombia.
