Review
"With The Usable Past, Zamora has written another important book. One can only hope that this time more scholars and critics will follow in her footsteps." Comparative Literature
Book Description
Concentrating on the past as both the subject of fiction and as a force for inscribing fiction, The Usable Past traces the ways in which writers self-consciously participate in the construction of an American canon. Linking Latin American and North American fiction, Zamora explores issues surrounding the ambivalence of history in a 'new' world.
