- W2079218145 abstract "In famous and haunting scene at center of One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967), Gabriel Garcia Marquez re-imagines 1928 United Fruit Company Massacre in Cienaga, Colombia, from perspective of fictional character Jose Arcadio Segundo Buendia. Having miraculously survived massacre of banana company workers, Jose Ar- cadio Segundo awakens to find himself on a train full of man corpses, woman corpses, child corpses who would be thrown in like rejected bananas (312). Haunted by what he witnesses and justifiably traumatized by state's subsequent erasure of massacre from public memory and from history books with the official version that nothing had happened, Jose Arcadio Segundo is brought back from brink of insan- ity by befriending Aureliano Babilionia Buendia to whom he imparts his knowledge of massacre (354). Jose Arcadio Segundo spends his dying breath entreating Aureliano Babilonia not to forget events: Always remember that they were more than three thousand and that they were thrown into sea (359). Aureliano Babilonia follows injunction, sharing account with his friend Gabriel who, symbolic of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, embodies possibility that an oral storytelling chain can function as an alterna- tive archive to hegemonic history. Garcia Marquez inscribes this memory into his fictional novel, for before publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude, United Fruit Massacre was largely absent from written histories of region and school textbooks, surviving predominately in local oral accounts. Subsequently, Garcia Marquez's representation of massacre has come to occupy a prominent place in Colombian national historical imaginary and has stimulated important recuperative historical work. I bring up case of One Hundred Years of Solitude because its intervention into historical archive exem- plifies how fictional representations of historical events can function as powerful forms of testimony that critique state violence and mass disappearances. Edwidge Danticat's 1998 novel The Farming of Bones follows in a long tradition of novels in Americas that, like One Hundred Years of Solitude, echo Jose Arcadio Segundo's plea to Always remember, using medium of fiction and novelization of memory to testify against state violence. The Farming of Bones functions as a testimonio or testimony against genocidal atrocities perpetrated by dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo against ethnic Haitians in Dominican Republic during 1937 Parsley Massacre. In this es- say, I argue that novel's aesthetic interweaving of imaginative, documentary, oral, and corporeal modes enriches testimonial project and stakes a claim for novel as a testimonial archive." @default.
