Palade Bianca Gabriela from West University of Timișoara (Romania)
will present On Testimonio Writings and Latino-American Fiction
Abstract
John Beverly defines the testimonio (testimonial writing) as the genre of the individuals
excluded from the official representation of history; its main function being that of giving voice to the
marginalized, the voiceless, to all those who were left out of the official versions of history. This paper
aims to bring into discussion the importance of such genre in the Latino-American fiction and to tackle
its integration in the literary works of several writers, such as Julia Alvarez or Cristina Garcia. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
