The period of Colombian history known as La Violencia (The Violence 1948-1963) was characterized by widespread terror and crime. Liberals and Conservatives faced off in a battle to win control over the state, more specifically, to achieve hegemony. Peasants and urban dwellers were in the middle of such confrontation. And eventually, were co-opted by the rhetoric of each fraction, thereby becoming murderers, victims, or both. Colombian writer Gustavo Alvarez Gardeazabal recreated this time in...
Show moreThe period of Colombian history known as La Violencia (The Violence 1948-1963) was characterized by widespread terror and crime. Liberals and Conservatives faced off in a battle to win control over the state, more specifically, to achieve hegemony. Peasants and urban dwellers were in the middle of such confrontation. And eventually, were co-opted by the rhetoric of each fraction, thereby becoming murderers, victims, or both. Colombian writer Gustavo Alvarez Gardeazabal recreated this time in two of his novels, Condores no entierran todos los dias y El ultimo gamonal. His historical narrative accounts the events and succeeds in recreating the languages and practices of La Violencia. This study will address these themes and explain how Gardeazabal portrays the role of the conservative State and its connections with criminal practices.

This study questions the representation of the "black subject" in Alejo Carpentier's ¡Ecue Yamba O! (1933) and Jacques Roumain's Gouverneurs de la rosee (1944), in order to discuss the mechanisms of inclusion and/or "cooptation" employed by the liberal-marxist elite in their nationalist/anticolonial efforts. During the time period in which these two works were written, the ideological, economic and political interventionism of the United States inspired various movements or artistic...
Show moreThis study questions the representation of the "black subject" in Alejo Carpentier's ¡Ecue Yamba O! (1933) and Jacques Roumain's Gouverneurs de la rosee (1944), in order to discuss the mechanisms of inclusion and/or "cooptation" employed by the liberal-marxist elite in their nationalist/anticolonial efforts. During the time period in which these two works were written, the ideological, economic and political interventionism of the United States inspired various movements or artistic resistence against "yankee" power in the Caribbean. My study shows how Carpentier and Roumain incorporate the "black subject" in their narratives tin order to generate a national identity to be used as an weapon against U.S. influence in their countries. I also analyze how the characterizations of these "black subjects" in ¡Ecue Yamba O! and Gouverneurs de la rosee, function within the Cuban and Haitian nationalist ideologies of the time period.
