Structures of Power by Terry J Peavler
By thoroughly analyzing the literature chosen, the authors go beyond questions of politically committed writing to include such issues as the dominance of one sex, one belief system, and one individual over another. Because they reveal just how complex and diverse issues of power in literature can be, they significantly broaden an already lively debate. What brings them together here is their shared passion for the subject, their keenness of thought, and their possession of what may be the greatest power of all, that of persuasion.
"Structures of Power is accessible to a wide range of readers, including generalists with little or no background in Latin American literature or political systemsThe editors are clearly aware of the diversity of Latin American cultures and have made an effort to represent that diversity in this volume." — Debra A. Castillo, Cornell University
