About the book
"In Private Topographies, Marzena Grzegorczyk identifies and analyzes the types of postcolonial subjectivity prevalent among the Creole (Euro-American) ruling classes in post-independence, nineteenth-century Latin America. The book takes an original scholarly approach in linking together political transitions and "implacements"--Attempts individuals make to reorder the space around them. By looking at cartographies of states and regions, the structure of towns, and appearance and layout of homes in literature from Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil from this nineteenth century period of transition, Grzegorczyk sheds new light on the ways a culture remakes itself and the mechanisms through which subjectivities shift during periods of political change."--Jacket.
