Capitalism and Its Discontents
Power and Accumulation in Latin-American Culture
Distributed for University of Wales Press
“This major volume brings together a set of essays by one of the most stimulating writers in English on Latin American culture. John Kraniauskas boasts an astonishing critical and cultural range—in three sections and a series of chapters, he tours with consummate skill both canonical and less feted novels. His meticulous grounding in Marxist and critical theory allows Kraniauskas to study the experience of capitalism in Latin America, and in particular the relationship between literature as a cultural form and the role of the state. The resulting work will be of great importance to all those studying or researching Latin American culture and politics, and provides tools for wider disciplines, including literary and cultural studies.”
