Notes

1.Beverley helped to establish and influence the anti-literature, pro-testimonio, then post-testimonio moves in Latin American literary/cultural/subaltern/indigenous/post-dictatorship studies across work like Against Literature (University of Minnesota Press, 1993), the essays collected in the Testimonio: On the Politics of Truth volume (University of Minnesota Press, 2004) and Latinamericanism After 9/11 (Duke UP, 2011). Other representative projects in this movement (among many others) include Idelber Avelar’s The Untimely Present: Post-dictatorial Latin American Fiction and the Task of Mourning (Duke UP, 1999); Alberto Moreiras’s The Exhaustion of Difference: The Politics of Latin American Cultural Studies (Duke UP, 2001); Arturo Arias, Ed.’s The Rigoberta Menchú Controversy (University of Minnesota Press, 2001); Brett Levinson’s The Ends of Literature: The Latin American “Boom” in the Neoliberal Marketplace (Stanford UP, 2001); both Jean Franco’s The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City: Latin America in the Cold War (Harvard UP, 2002) and Cruel Modernity (Duke UP, 2013); Ileana Rodríguez’s Liberalism at Its Limits: Crime and Terror in the Latin American Cultural Text (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2009), and finally the text that will represent this essay’s own convergence with this genealogy in our last section, Horacio Legrás’s Literature and Subjection: The Economy of Writing and Marginality in Latin America (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2008).
