Colonial Tropes and Postcolonial Tricks by Lesley Wylie PDF Summary

Book Description: The vision of the South American rainforest as a wilderness of rank decay, poisonous insects and bloodthirsty 'savages' in the Spanish American novela de la selva has often been interpreted as a belated imitation of European travel literature. This book offers a new reading of the genre by arguing that, far from being derivative, the novela de la selva re-imagined the tropics from a Latin American perspective, redefining tropical landscape aesthetics and ethnography through parodic rewritings of European perceptions of Amazonia in fictional and factual travel writing.
