Abstract:
Certain land reform novels were largely based on the authors’ own participation in the land reform movements of the Civil War. As socialist-realist texts formulated through the ethnographic experiences of their authors–observation, field notes, and first-hand accounts – these novels feature a geopoetics in which a new nation is constructed through the restructuring of its physical spaces. I analyze the land reform novels through their authors’ twin methods of knowledge production: an ethnographic approach to reconstructing the reality of land reform campaigns and the theoretical underpinnings of socialist realism as a narrative explication of the policy’s necessity.
