Reviews

From Sarmiento to Rivera to Gallegos, Axel Pérez Trujillo examines Latin America’s most renowned writers through an ecocritical lens to trace, with great specificity, the transnational legacy of settler ecologies from the nineteenth century onward. His patient reading of plains imaginaries homes in on specific biomes to shed light on fascinating and understudied categories like continentalism, tropology, and predation. With an eye toward highlighting the urgency of ecocriticism, Pérez Trujillo challenges us to rethink representation and reality, space and subject, and hemispheric notions of what constitutes progress and modernity. * Aarti S.
