“Narrating Narcos succeeds admirably in explaining theorigins of the ‘narco novels,’ as well as in offering trenchantclose readings of works by Elmer Mendoza, Fernando Vallejo,and Héctor Abad Faciolince, and placing these fictions in abroader cultural and artistic context that includes painting,music, and film. It’s a must-read book about an urgentlyimportant phenomenon.”—Aníbal González-Pérez, Yale University

“As Polit Dueñas posits, the phenomenon of narco traffickingexpresses an overwhelming challenge of representation. Inthis sense the author has successfully met the challenge headon. The text brings a fresh interdisciplinary mix of archivalwork and ethnographic involvement that fruitfully exploresthe conundrums of Latin American narco culture. As such itis a genuine contribution for understanding the troubledhistorical narco legacies of our time.”—Oswaldo Benavides, Fordham University

Speculative FictionsChilean Culture, Economics, and the Neoliberal Transition ALESSANDRO FORNAZZARI


“The immense virtue of Fornazzari’s book is that it quicklypoints us away from its somewhat simplistic premises andtowards the far more interesting task of exploring the realcomplexity, the paradoxes and ironies as well as the continu-ing cruelties, of a society that is in no way as dedifferentiatedas its right-wing boosters and many of its left-wing criticswould like to think.”—Posthegemony

“Fornazzari’s brilliantly argued book sheds new light on theneoliberal turn that transformed Chile’s public discourse since1973. His compelling and sophisticated readings of novels,films, and essays constitute an important contribution to ourunderstanding of the ways in which cultural artifacts workthrough the traumatic effects of the economic reshaping of thesocial sphere. Fornazzari’s creative reinscriptions of crucialtheoretical notions turn contemporary fiction into a privilegedsocial space for the interpretation of Chile’s political and eco-nomical unconscious.”—Mariano Siskind, Harvard University

Transition CinemaPolitical Filmmaking and the Argentine Left since 1968JESSICA STITES MOR


“This well-researched analysis of the past 50 years of Argentinecinema is unique in its emphasis on documentary film as well asfeature film. An eye-opening perspective on the recent history of one of the world’s most important film producers. Highly recommended.”—Choice

The Curse of NemurIn Search of the Art, Myth, and Ritual of the IshirTICIO ESCOBAR


“A compelling read. Escobar comes to Ishir mythology and art as a liter-ary and art critic, but it would be a waste to read this book purely in thespirit of literary criticism, for the stories that the Ishir tell, their body art,and their rituals are far too interesting in their own right.”—Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

“Whereas Faulkner is customarily represented as a product of literarymodernism, Aboul-Ela invokes the ‘peripheralist aesthetics’ in theMariátegui tradition to separate him from the Euro-American modernisttradition. By bringing other regions of the Global South into his analysisof U.S. Southern culture, Aboul-Ela raises important questions about colo-nial economy and the geo-spatial inequalities that determined much ofFaulkner’s vision.”—Donald Pease, Dartmouth College

Rosenthal adroitlydemonstrates how the weak state still profoundly affected demography,land holding, labor opportunities, social structure, and even the dailylives of many Colombians.
