Hernández (Spanish, Tufts U.) offers readings of novels published in Mexico and the Rio de la Plata basin (Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay) in the 1980s and 1990s that have revisited the conquistador past of their countries, particularly through the use of fictional autobiographies and testimonials. Finding both legitimating and subversive elements in the novels, Hernández is primarily interested in the way the novels rewrite historiographical discourse about the conquest and the relationship of that discourse to contemporary Latin American politics. The novels discussed include Armanda Ayala Anguiano's Cómo conquisté a los aztecas, Abel Posse's El largo atardecer del caminante, Napoleón Baccino Ponce de León's Maluco: La novella de los descubridores, Antonio Elio Brailovsky's Esta maldita lujuria, Eugenio Aguirre's Gonzalo Guerrero, Augusto Roa Basto's Vigilia del Almirante, Herminio Martínez's las puertas del mundo: Una autobiografía del Almirante, most of which have previously received only limited critical attention.
