Colonial Tropes And Postcolonial Tricks Rewriting The Tropics In The Novela De La Selva is a spanish american fiction, jungles in literature book by Lesley Wylie.
About this book
The vision of the South American rainforest as a wilderness of rank decay, poisonous insects and bloodthirsty 'savages' in the Spanish American novela de la selva has often been interpreted as a belated imitation of European travel literature. This book offers a new reading of the genre by arguing that, far from being derivative, the novela de la selva re-imagined the tropics from a Latin American perspective, redefining tropical landscape aesthetics and ethnography through parodic rewritings of European perceptions of Amazonia in fictional and factual travel writing.
