This Handbook brings together essays from an impressive group of
well-established and emerging scholars from all around the world,
to show the many different types of violence that have plagued
Latin America since the pre-Colombian era, and how each has been
seen and characterized in literature and other cultural mediums
ever since. This ambitious collection analyzes texts from some of
the region's most tumultuous time periods, beginning with early
violence that was predominately tribal and ideological in nature;
to colonial and decolonial violence between colonizers and the
native population; through to the political violence we have seen
in the postmodern period, marked by dictatorship, guerrilla
warfare, neoliberalism, as well as representations of violence
caused by drug trafficking and migration. The volume provides
readers with literary examples from across the centuries, showing
not only how widespread the violence has been, but crucially how it
has shaped the region and evolved over time.
