Corruption in America - Harvard University Press. (2016). Harvard University Press.

This work details the history and effects of corruption in American politics, offering a broader perspective on how corruption undermines democracy. Its focus on systemic corruption ties into the political themes of Fuentes' novel, expanding on the argument that political systems often suppress marginalized voices.

Hypothesis:

Although marginalized groups are often excluded from dominant narratives, literary works like Carlos Fuentes' The Death of Artemio Cruz use storytelling, particularly through techniques like flashbacks, to highlight the struggles of these groups. By examining political corruption, prison reform, racial injustice, and labor exploitation, these narratives foster cultural understanding and catalyze social transformation.
