The works collected in Literature and violence in recent Latin American narrativethey question the ways of narrating the extreme experiences of Latin American history in recent decades. They configure a varied map of the violence of the last decades, which begins with the dictatorships of the Southern Cone and reaches the seven hundred femicides in Ciudad Juárez; a journey that goes from south to north, from the '70s to the' 90s, from dictatorial violence to neoliberal violence and the war on drugs. The works of Luis Gusmán, Martín Kohan, Alan Pauls, Ricardo Piglia and Daniel Moyano interrogate dictatorial violence in Argentina. The narratives of Iván Thays, Santiago Roncagliolo and Daniel Alarcón explore the years of violence in Peru (1980-2000) during the armed conflict between the Shining Path and the military forces. If the works of Horacio Castellanos Moya, Rodrigo Rey Rosa and Franz Galich traverse the Central American context traversed by the Guatemalan genocide; Fernando Vallejo's narrative reveals the failure of the left and the empire of violence without ideology unleashed by drug trafficking in Colombia.
