Description

Post-Conflict Central American Literature: Searching for Home and Longing to Belong studies often-overlooked contemporary poetry.

Through the exploration of poetry and a select number of short stories, this book contemplates the meanings of home, belonging, and the homeland in post-conflict, globalizing, and neoliberal El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica.

Aparicio analyzes literary representations of and meditations on the current conditions as well as the recent pasts of Central American homelands.

Additionally, the book highlights aesthetic renditions of home at the same time that it engages with and is grounded in contemporary Central American cultures, politics, and societies.

In effect, this book contests hegemonic and apparently commonsense views that assert that globalization produces global citizenship and globalized experiences.

Instead it argues that a palpable desire for home and belonging survives and thrives in rapidly globalizing Central American homelands.
