Juan Pablo Dabove is associate professor of Latin American literature at the University of Colorado at Boulder. His most recent book is entitled, (Pittsburgh, 2007) and focuses on the popular theme of banditry in works of literature, essays, poetry, and drama, from the early nineteenth century to the 1920s, and banditry's pivotal role during the conceptualization and formation of the Latin American nation-state. While focusing on four crucial countries (Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, and Venezuela), it is the first book to address the depiction of banditry in Latin America as a whole.
