«The Real Thing: Testimonial Discourse and Latin America» is the essay collection edited by Georg M. Gugelberger (Duke University Press, 1996, paperback).
It brings together essays on Latin American testimonio: its origins as the voice of the marginalized and colonized, its rise in the post-boom, and its reception once canonized. It discusses works such as Miguel Mármol by Roque Dalton and the testimonio of Rigoberta Menchú, linking the debate to the canon, postmodernism, postcolonialism, and Latin American studies.
English-language volume of 328 pages with contributions by John Beverley, Fredric Jameson, Margaret Randall, Doris Sommer, and George Yúdice, among others.
Aimed at scholars and students of Latin American literature, postcolonial studies, anthropology, and comparative literature.
