Title Latinoamerikanskoe bezumie: kul'turnaja i politicheskaja istorija XX veka
Description American Delirium by Carlos Granés is a wide-ranging essay on twentieth-century Latin America and the strange closeness between art and political power. Granés presents the continent as a space of cultural invention, with poets and artists taking part in the creation of national myths, and politicians speaking in the language of utopia. Literary imagination stands beside revolutionary projects, and aesthetic gestures often acquire direct political force. Granés moves from early debates about Latin American identity to dictatorships, revolutions, and the collapse of older ideological hopes. He writes about the influence of the avant-garde and surrealism, the rise of populism, the temptations of communism and fascism. José Martí, García Márquez, Fidel Castro, and other figures appear as part of his attempt to understand the bond between imagination and power.

This book is an intellectual history of a continent. Granés is compelling because he treats culture as a force capable of both creating images of freedom and feeding dangerous collective illusions.
