In Norte (2011) Edmundo Paz Soldan explores multiple perspectives of immigration from Latin America to the United States during the 20th and 21st centuries. The narratives of each of the four protagonists Michelle, Martin, Jesus, and Sergeant Fernandez characterize complex relationships with the United States and with their own country of origin. Paz Soldan establishes an encounter between different genres to highlight Latin American’s migratory experience in the U.S., to examine the American prison system, the university, undocumented immigration, non-English speakers, violence, and border crossing. In this article, it will be argued that through different narratives memories this novel reflects, from an American space, upon 21st Latin American writing that is trying to find its own place in United States. The term narrative memory used in this analysis names the reconciliatory encounter between the literary past and present that regulates this novel, one that can be analyzed by its intertextual encounters: shuttling between references to the Hernandez brothers’ comic books, vampire narratives by Laurell K. Hamilton, detective fiction, and Juan Rulfo’s “Luvina”.

A well-known nineteenth-century declaration regarding the writing of Gertrudis Gomez de Avellaneda, “iEs mucho hombre esa mujer!” [She’s quite a man, that woman!], exposes the binary underlying the sex-gender system in a patriarchal society used to categorize women’s literary production. This paper examines the potential for change in that system after the Cuban Revolution. Ileana Rodriguez’s reading of Latin American revolutionary thought constructing the ideal leftist guerrilla revolutionary posits the thwarted possibility of a revolutionary subject constructed as “different” rather than based on gender difference. A window of populist mobilization and reconfiguration of the body politic in Cuba after 1959 displaced the traditional binary for a short period. A study of women’s fiction from the period reveals an alternative imaginary for the female revolutionary body ultimately limited by the consolidation of patriarchal power under the Castro regime--under which an echo of that same nineteenth-century sentiment regarding women writers can still be heard.
19世纪关于格特鲁迪斯·戈麦斯·德·阿韦亚内达写作的一句著名宣言:“iEs much hombre esa mujer!”“那个女人真是个男子汉!”]，揭示了男权社会中性别系统的二元性，这种二元性被用来对女性文学作品进行分类。本文探讨了古巴革命后这一体系发生变化的可能性。伊莱安娜·罗德里格斯(Ileana Rodriguez)对构建理想左派游击革命者的拉丁美洲革命思想的解读，提出了一种被阻挠的可能性，即革命主体被构建为“不同”而不是基于性别差异。1959年之后，古巴出现了民粹主义动员和政体重组的窗口期，在短时间内取代了传统的二元体制。对这一时期女性小说的研究揭示了女性革命身体的另一种想象，最终受到卡斯特罗政权下父权巩固的限制——在这种情况下，仍然可以听到19世纪对女作家的同样情绪的回声。

This article examines the formation of the Guardia Nacional de Nicaragua before and during the period of the Sandino rebellion, US military intervention, and its aftermath (1927-1936). Focusing on the radically abrupt upward displacement of coercive capacities in these eight years of war, we emphasize the agency of Nicaraguans in shaping the kind of institution the Guardia became. We argue that the process of war against a homegrown nationalist insurgency most profoundly shaped Guardia identity and that the Somocista state represented a masked and modernized form of caudillismo, as a political system within which political authority and power resided in personal and patronage relations.

In recent political discourse, “cosmopolitanism” has become synonymous with elitism and disloyalty to national values. However, this discourse ignores the varied history of cosmopolitanism, both as an aesthetic and a worldview. Not all cosmopolitanism is rootless, as demonstrated by Appiah’s Ethics of Identity (2005), which proposes a new kind of identity based on “rooted cosmopolitanism.” And as James Clifford points out, travel—and cosmopolitanism, along with it—is no longer (or perhaps never has been) reserved for wealthy elites. Clifford emphasizes that travel does not only include “Westerners” traveling to developing countries, but also the reverse; this second kind of traveler follows the trajectory of a different cosmopolitanism. This article examines cosmopolitanism in the work of two contemporary Caribbean artists—Dominican-American author Junot Diaz, and Puerto Rican musician Rene Juan Perez Joglar. The protagonist of Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao lives the tensions inherent in nationalist and cosmopolitan impulses—like the author, the novel moves between the Dominican Republic and the United States. The title alludes to Irish writer and famed cosmopolitan, Oscar Wilde. Although criticism of the novel has not drawn any connection to Wilde beyond the title itself, this paper suggests that Diaz’s work relates to Wilde on deeper levels related to cosmopolitanism, particularly as Wilde tied this notion to the struggle for individualism. Similar notions surface in Perez Joglar’s music and recent documentary film, Residente, presenting a rooted cosmopolitanism that, while acknowledging national history and culture, pushes the boundaries of identity across the globe.
