Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Read together, the novels La casa verde (1967), El hablador (1987) and Lituma en los Andes (1993), Mario Vargas Llosa, reveal a desired and imagined as mestizo nation and homogeneous, in the service of the interests neoliberal in a globalized world. Works dealing with the jungle and the Andes or Sierra, and traditionally excluded from the Peruvian nation, and the relationship of these regions to the coast, the center of political power in the country's indigenous peoples. By breaking the boundaries between the novels by circulating common characters and stories and creating characters of certain indigenous gifted voice, Vargas Llosa seems to want to abolish the traditional separation between the different regions of Peru, thus foreshadowing a draft inclusive nation give participation to permanently excluded.
