2. Written in exile : Chilean fiction from 1973-present

   López-Calvo, Ignacio

   New York : Routledge, 2001.

   On September 11, 1973, Chile's General Pinochet led a quick and brutal military coup ousting the Allende government. Ignacio Lopez-Calvo argues that this event shaped Chilean narrative into two structural forms: liberationist narrative-cathartic, journalistic testimonies that provide models for revolutionary behaviour against authoritarianism and demystifying narrative, which uses the events of 1973, as well as the colonial aspirations of European countries, as a "Paradise Lost" backdrop in which the charaters of this type of fiction are able to create theor non-political realities that become models of democratization.

3. Imaging the Chinese in Cuban literature and culture

   López-Calvo, Ignacio

   Gainesville : University Press of Florida, c2008.

   More than 150 years ago, the first Chinese contract laborers ("coolies") arrived in Cuba to work the colonial plantations. Eventually, over 150,000 Chinese immigrated to the island, and their presence has had a profound effect on all aspects of Cuban cultural production, from food to books to painting. Ignacio Lopez-Calvo's interpretations often go against the grain of earlier research, refusing to conceive of Cuban identity either in terms of a bipolar black/white opposition or an idyllic and harmonious process of miscegenation. He also counters traditional representations of "chinos mambises, "Chinese immigrants who fought for Cuba in the Wars of Independence against Spain. "Imaging the Chinese in Cuban Literature and Culture "fills a void in literary criticism, breaking new ground within the small field of Sino-Cuban studies. It is destined to set the tone for years to come.
