Mourning El Dorado

Literature and Extractivism in the Contemporary American Tropics

Beschreibung

Looks at how fiction from the American tropics written since 1950 engages with the promise of El Dorado in the age of the Anthropocene. Just as the golden kingdom was never found, natural resource extraction has not produced wealth and happiness for the peoples of the tropics.
