ISBN-13: 978-0-8223-2344-0, ISBN: 0-8223-2344-3

It is history which points to the tension between social reality and the theoretical categories used to talk about it-an idea which resides in ..."

"In a style that surely recalls the journeys of exile suffered in life by Juana Manuela Gorriti, Hernán and the luckless Rosa are banished from protection by law. Greed, dating from colonial times, continues to drive their misfortune. This impasse is often resolved as a conflict of tongues. Rosa is swayed by the deceptive language of the colonial elite and so rejects Hernán; in turn, Hernán is persuaded by rumors of an African slave ..."
