Query: A foundational work in Latin American Studies

Years ago, I attended a lecture by Doris Sommers where the author placed Tony Morrison's Beloved under the same political-historical-literary framework with great heuristic craft and passionate intensity. Sommers is a great scholar and an engaging lecturer.In Foundational Fictions Sommers decouples the master narratives of the young Latin American Patrias of the 19th Century in political-historical and literary discourses, with race and gender at the core of all national projects.As a teacher, Foundational Fictions provided me with new tools to get the attention and captivate the interest of a wild bunch of high school teenagers. Not a small feat.Foundational Fictions is a must!Anahi W. Schafer
