Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines philosophy, history, psychology, literature, and social justice theory, this study delineates the synergistic connection between these two themes. Weldt-Basson examines fourteen novels by twelve different Latin American authors: Mario Vargas Llosa, Sergio Galindo, Augusto Roa Bastos, Fernando del Paso, Mayra Santos-Febres, Isabel Allende, Carmen Boullosa, Antonio Benitez-Rojo, Marcela Serrano, Sara Sefchovich, Luisa Valenzuela, and Ariel Dorfman. She elucidates the varieties of social justice operating in the plots of contemporary Latin American novels: distributive, postmodern/feminist, postcolonial, transitional, and historical justices. The author further examines how masquerade and disguise aid in articulating the theme of social justice, why this is important, and how it relates to Latin American history and the historical novel."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Latin American fiction $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Latin American fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Masquerades in literature. 650 0 $a Disguise in literature. 650 0 $a Social justice in literature. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Weldt-Basson, Helene Carol, 1958- $t Masquerade and social justice in contemporary Latin American fiction. $b First edition. $d Albuquerque : University of New Mexico Press, 2017 $z 9780826358165 $w (DLC) 2016049216 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021012121.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171003031914.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=05EB9A22621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
