This collection of essays studies the depiction of contemporary
urban space in twenty-first century Latin American fiction. The
contributors to this volume seek to understand the characteristics
that make the representation of the postmodern city in a Latin
American context unique. The chapters focus on cities from a wide
variety of countries in the region, highlighting the cultural and
political effects of neoliberalism and globalization in the
contemporary urban scene. Twenty-first century authors share an
interest for images of ruins and dystopian landscapes and their
view of the damaging effects of the global market in Latin America
tends to be pessimistic. As the book demonstrates, however, utopian
elements or "spaces of hope" can also be found in these narrations,
which suggest the possibility of transforming a
capitalist-dominated living space.
