Reviews

"Beyond the comparative analysis, this is an important resource for readers interested in the interconnections of textual/cultural production and sociopolitical action in times of national catastrophe, particularly in Latin America."-- "CHOICE"

A highly intelligent and quite fascinating study of the way in which natural disaster has been handled in a specific range of Latin American writing. Well researched, documented, and organized, and superbly written.--David William Foster, Arizona State University
