This comparative literature study explores how writers from across Ireland andÂ Latin America have, both in parallel and in concert, deployed symbolicÂ representations of the dead in their various anti-colonial projects. In contrast toÂ the ghosts and revenants that haunt English and Anglo-American lettersâ€”whereÂ they are largely either monstrous horrors or illusory fraudsâ€”the dead in theseÂ Irish/Latinx archives can serve as potential allies, repositories of historicalÂ grievances, recorders of silenced voices, and disruptors of neocolonial discourse.
