González examines selected works from the Spanish American narrative tradition that exemplify moments in the history of the relationship between literature and journalism. He argues that Spanish American narrative has sought to work in consonance with journalism's modernizing impulse, making strategic use of journalistic discourse to promote social or political change. In the course of the argument, González offers a broad historical panorama of the journalist/narrative interaction, and at the same time proposes an alternate theory of the development of the Spanish American Narrative.--Publisher description Analysis Spanish literature South America Central America Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 151-161) and index Notes English Print version record In ACLS Humanities E-Book.
