Global South Modernities: Modernist Literature and the Avant-Garde
in Latin America examines the seminal influence that Latin American
writers had on the style, subject matter, and ideology of
literature in the Global South from 1900 to the late 1930s. Gorica
Majstorovic challenges the historical and racial logic of interwar
Latin American literary studies by introducing the solidarity
relations between the global decolonial movements and placing
anti-imperialism, Blackness, and indigeneity at the center of
decolonial analysis. Following Mignolo, de Sousa Santos, and Cheah,
the texts under analysis subvert the processes of European colonial
worlding and show modernity itself as pluralized. Drawing on these
works, Majstorovic bridges the gap between aesthetics and politics
while shifting the focus onto the Latin American transnational
modernist networks and situating the analysis within the
theoretical frameworks of the Global South. While examining the
idea of globality through its different conceptualizations
(cosmopolitanism, immigration, and travel), Majstorovic analyzes
avant-garde magazines of the 1920s, Mexican petrofiction, urban
proletarian, and decolonial travel narratives of the 1930s, calling
into question modernism's usual framing as an Anglo-American
interwar phenomenon. Majstorovic constructs a new genealogy of
Latin American literature by examining the asymmetrical relations
within its multiple modernities and offers a new understanding of
Latin American interwar literature through the lens of the Global
South.
