Books by Lois Parkinson Zamora

Traces the relations of Latin American painting, sculpture, architecture, and literature - the stories they tell each other and the ways in which their creators saw the world and their place in it. This work argues for an integrated understanding of visual and verbal forms.

This 1989 book is a comparative literary study of apocalyptic themes and narrative techniques in the contemporary North and Latin American novel. Zamora explores the history of the myth of apocalypse, from the Bible to medieval and later interpretations, and relates this to the development of American apocalyptic attitudes.

Explores the influence of the study of the Americas - variously referred to as Americas Studies, Transamerican Studies, Hemispheric Studies, and Interamerican Studies - on the field of comparative literature.

This collection brings together critical writing which examines questions of identity and community in the fiction of contemporary American women writers: among them Alice Walker, Toni Morrison and Sandra Cisnernos.
