title = "Crime Fiction and Authoritarianism",
abstract = "In this chapter I ponder the tridimensional relationship between crime fiction, authoritarian regimes and world literature, exploring the extent to which it is possible to understand “the circulation and translation of ideas, themes, and concerns about crime and policing across and between national traditions, while attempting to pay due attention to specifi c sociocultural and institutional contexts” (Pepper 2016 : 10– 11). To this end, I will focus on two groups of authoritarian regimes: Communist (mostly Eastern Bloc, but also Cuba), and Latin American military dictatorships.",
