Uses literature as a primary resource in examining the concept of childhood and how it is exploited and explored in 19th- and 20th-century Latin America. Argues that literary treatments of childhood, whether equating the child's potential with that of the nation, using the child as a representative of marginalized sectors of society, or drawing an analogy between parent-child and state-citizen relationships, result in a dehumanization of the child performed in the name of constructing a national identity. Browning teaches Spanish at Linfield College. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
