Amazon.com description: Product Description: Peru is a nation built on the still extant colonial divide between indigenous peoples and the descendants of their Spanish conquerors, a divide that finds expression in the short stories, novels, and essays by renowned Peruvian writers such as José MarÃÂa Arguedas and Mario Vargas Llosa. The Colonial Divide in Peruvian Narrative explores debates over Peruââ¬â¢s modernization and cultural identity in post-1940 literature, exploring how Arguedas, Vargas Llosa, and others confronted challenges of language, style, and narrative form in their attempt to write across their nationââ¬â¢s cultural divisions. It examines how modernization affected the relationship between Peruââ¬â¢s white elite and its indigenous majority, how historical change stimulated the emergence of new narrative techniques, and how these in turn made possible an understanding of the historical contexts in which they arose. Though Peru is its principal focus, the text engages with current studies of modernity at the postcolonial margins of the Western world by contributing to an understanding of the class and ethnic conflicts generated by rapid modernization in culturally heterogeneous nations. The book adds to the growing body of critical literature on the ways in which modernity in formerly colonized nations such as Peru is inflected by the enduring legacies of colonialism.
