Aquatic Environments

Literary Hydropolitics in Latin America

Insights into the rich tradition of Latin American literature set in aquatic environments.

From pre-Columbian times till today, human interventions in aquatic environments have been shaping the geopolitics of Latin America – the technologies related to irrigation, the use of rivers as borders or transportation routes, as well as the management of drinking water. The contributors to this volume examine the relationship between water and politics in Latin America via readings of both renowned and upcoming writers. They focus on the web of power relations and practices generated by these interventions in Latin American fiction and poetry. They reveal literary strategies that make it possible to share knowledge about other ways of organizing life in aquatic environments.
