Describing gender troping as using gender codes to persuade readers of the political objectives of the author, Swier (Spanish, Wake Forest U.) surveys how it was employed by nationalist writers during the 19th century and throughout the nation-building era in Latin America. Such troping relies on everyone meaning the same thing, she says, but the concepts of gender and of nation were both shifting at that time, so things could get pretty interesting. She discusses forging a national identity by feminizing the Other in José Martí's chronicles and essays, unveiling the mask of modernity in Amistad funesta, transgendering and the emergence of ambiguously constructed subjects in Doña Bárbara and feminine imagery in El Señor Presidente.
