Resumen
GARCIA, María del Carmen. The Valley's Transformation in the Literature of Narcotraffic of Rolando Hinojosa. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2011, vol.2, n.4, pp.97-114. ISSN 2145-8987.
This research paper analyzes how Rolando Hinojosa, a Chicano writer, explores the socioeconomic transformation in the textual and extra-textual space on the Mexico-USA border, specifically, the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. It is studied how the author utilizes the literary conventions of the policial novel for his historiographic purposes, when he explores in Partners in Crime and Ask a Policeman the transition from a local to a globally controlled economy based on narcotraffic and its social implications in a place ancestrally signed by violence.
Palabras clave : border studies; narcotraffic; globalization; historiography; policial novel.
