A Literary and Political History of Post-revolutionary Mexico: Redefining "the Ideal"Quinn-Sanchez (Latin American literature and culture and Spanish language, Georgian Court U., New Jersey) questions the validity of the original Spanish American ideal nation and citizen as portrayed in the foundational fictions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She examines several literary versions of Mexican identity to explore how certain post-revolutionary authors of the middle 20th century legitimated, rejected, or subverted the social norms that had been portrayed within earlier foundational fictions.
