Literatura de denuncia social: Realidades fronterizas en El festín de los Cuervos de Gabriel Trujillo Muñoz

Abstract

From the perspective of Latin American literature on social criticism, the role of the intellectual not only implies an interest in highlighting a series of problems of the social reality that they tackle in their work, but also assuming a role as a political subject, involving commitment and action in their social environment. In this sense, Gabriel Trujillo Muñoz as an author has been widely recognized for putting into discussion in his works – such as El Festín de los cuervos: La saga fronteriza de Miguel Ángel Morgado - conflicts 2 that have been present throughout history on the border between Mexico and the United States (Baja California), however, his role has been limited to academia, leaving aside his ability to intervene in favor of the causes he denounces, and therefore, showing the lack of coherence between his discourse and his political actions.
