Title: Inevitable meetings: The Latin American novel and history. Seven cases for using the novel as a historical source

Abstract: This study shows how certain Latin American novels might be used as historical sources. Many scholars have commented on the value of the novel as a primary social document. This analysis sets forth a methodology to verify the novel's historical relevancy. Novels can be selected from broadly acknowledged Latin American historical themes. The historical authenticity of the novel's time, place, events, and characters are confirmed by their linkage to the historiography.

The novel often provides an immediate, emotional view of history; how history can be experienced. Beyond quantitative and other scientific-oriented analysis, that feeling of history imparted by novels, affords the historian unique historical information and insights. Using novels as primary sources, the historian can explore the human consequences of such historical forces in Latin America as authoritarianism, revolution, and Indian/Spanish relations. The fiction of the seven selected novels for this study deeply relies on much of the history related by historians, and other social scientists.
