Abstract

This paper reviews Relatos de la diferencia y literatura indígena. Travesías por el sistema mundo (2018) by Luz María Lepe Lira. In that essay, the author undertakes a titanic theoretical approach: she tries to show the artistic work and thought of indigenous writers in relation to the modern/colonial world system, which has insisted on highlighting its difference, its condition of otherness. Therefore, this work not only seeks to promote a place of differentiated academic enunciation, but also advocates an openly political reading of literature, from which studies that rely only on the 'aesthetic' to disdain or ignore the social, economic and political implication of the works.
