Narrative Innovation and Political Change in Mexico (University of Texas Studies in Contemporary Spanish-American Fiction) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Narrative Innovation and Political Change in Mexico shows that novels, considered as part of their social context, are not simply reflections of society, but often manifest change before it is apparent in the political realm. The author explains this function by reference to narrative techniques as well as to thematic material. He uses the other arts (especially painting) as corroborating factors, in an exposition based on three periods of remarkable innovation in twentieth-century Mexican fiction, ending with the analogy of narrative fiction to politics in the nineteen-eighties.

Review
«Brushwood is convincing in his argument that, indeed, literature is more than a mirror of society. He aptly demonstrates that new directions in style and theme foreshadow similar changes in Mexican politics and literature, as well as other artistic media - clearly illustrate the author's ideas. Brushwood's revisionist thesis deserves special attention as an important work for Mexicanists, expecially for literary critics but including scholars of political science as well.» (Jeffrey C. Barnett, Romance Quarterly)
