This study of Spanish American autobiography from it is beginnings in the post-colonial nineteenth century to the present day concentrates primarily on cultural and historical issues. Spanish American autobiographies are arousing and attention holding hybrids, ofttimes wielding various discourses at once. They aspire to documentary status while unabashedly exalting the self, and dwell on personal experience while purporting to be exercises in historiography, the founding texts of a national archive. Professor Molloy examines a wide range of texts, from Sarmiento’s Recuerdos de provincia to Victoria Ocampo’s Autobiografia. She analyses their textual strategies, the generic affiliations they claim, their kinship to the European canon and their dialog with precursor texts, as well as their problematic use of memory and the ideological significances of their repressive tactics. This method enables her to distinguish perceptions of self and tensions amongst self and other, therefore shedding light on the vacillating place of the subject within a community.
