C U LT U R E The Optic of the State Other South Faulkner, Coloniality, and the Mariátegui Tradition HOSAM ABOUL-ELA Visuality and Power in Argentina and Brazil JENS ANDERMANN 2007 • 224 pp. • 978-0-8229-5976-2 • Paper $24.95 • ITEM NO. 519 • SALE PRICE $19.96 • ePub available ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS “Whereas Faulkner is customarily represented as a product of literary modernism, Aboul-Ela invokes the ‘peripheralist aesthetics’ in the Mariátegui tradition to separate him from the Euro-American modernist tradition. By bringing other regions of the Global South into his analysis of U.S. Southern culture, Aboul-Ela raises important questions about colonial economy and the geo-spatial inequalities that determined much of Faulkner’s vision.” —Donald Pease, Dartmouth College 2007 • 272 pp. • 978-0-8229-5972-4 • Paper $27.95 • ITEM NO. 520 • SALE PRICE $22.36 • ePub available ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS “Written in impeccable style with a taste of the lavish chronicle, The Optic of the State is a book you won't want to put down.

He also builds a compelling case for the avant-gardes’ resilient import for current discussions of the global dynamics of cultural production and their anticipatory challenge to the putative modern/postmodern divide.” —Vicky Unruh,University of Kansas 2005 • 160 pp. • 978-0-8229-4260-3 • Cloth $24.95 • ITEM NO. 522 • SALE PRICE $19.96 • ePub available “An exhilarating tale that is a seamless blend of intricate character studies, the politics of patronage and power and the world events of the day.
