| Abstract: |
Anthropologist and author Deborah K. Goldemberg's novel Valentia (2012) recounts the Cabanagem, a nineteenth-century social uprising in the Amazon wherein mestizos revolted against the Brazilian Empire. Utilizing strategies associated with the new Brazilian historical novel and fictionalizing testimonial interviews she conducted, Goldemberg explores how the defeated insurgents' experience has been passed on orally to subsequent generations despite its absence from national historical accounts. This hybrid text, which has yet to receive scholarly attention, recovers marginalized collective memory through its dialogue between history, fiction, and testimony. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
