Citizenship and Crisis in Contemporary Brazilian Literature

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Considering how literary texts address the transformations that Brazil has undergone since its 1985 transition to democracy, this study proposes that Brazilian contemporary literature is informed by the struggle for social, civil, and cultural rights and that literary production has created spaces for historically disenfranchised communities.
