From pre-Columbian times till today, human interventions in aquatic environments have been shaping the geopolitics of Latin America. The contributors to this volume examine the relationship between water and politics in Latin America via readings of fiction and poetry by both renowned and upcoming writers. Through close literary analysis, they demonstrate how water functions as a medium for narrating submerged histories and for unsettling (post)colonial assumptions. The volume reveals literary strategies that make it possible to share knowledge about other ways of organizing life in aquatic environments.
