Contemporary Travel Writing of Latin America

More about the book

Contemporary Latin American travel writing is examined through the lens of how writers navigate the complex legacies of Euro-American narratives. The book analyzes case studies from four distinct travel sites—Patagonia, the Andes, Mexico, and the Mexico-US border—highlighting unique forms of narrative that challenge imperial myths. It features prominent authors like Luis Sepúlveda and Rubén Martínez, addressing themes of mobility, representation, and globalization, while redefining the concept of travel beyond expansion and exploration.
