The rewritings of the Mexican colonia discussed in this book
question a present reality of marginalities and inequality, of
imposed political domination, and of hybrid subjectivities. In
their examination of the novels, films, poetry, and chronicles
produced in and outside of Mexico since 2000, the critics included
in Colonial Itineraries of Contemporary Mexico produce new
interpretations, alternative readings, and different angles of
analysis that extend far beyond the theories of the new historical
novel of the eighties and nineties, and well beyond the limits of
the novel as re-creative genre.
Through a transformative interdisciplinary lens, this book studies
the ultra-contemporary chronicles of Carlos Monsivais, the poetry
of Carmen Boullosa and Luis Felipe Fabre, and the novels of Enrique
Serna, Hector de Mauleon, Monica Lavin, and Pablo Soler Frost,
among others. The book also pays close attention to a good sample
of recent children's literature that revisit Mexico's colonia. It
includes the transatlantic perspective of Spanish novelist Inma
Chacon, and a detailed analysis of the strategies employed by Laura
Esquivel in the creation of a best seller. Other chapters are
devoted to the study of transnational film productions, a play by
Flavio Gonzalez Mello, and a set of novels set in the
nineteenth-century colonia that problematize static notions of both
personal and national identity within specific cultural
palimpsests. Taken together, these incisive readings open broader
conversations about Mexican coloniality as it continues well into
the twenty-first century.
