ENGL 2570 - Modern Latin American Literature

Institution:

Central New Mexico Community College

Subject:

Description:

Students survey this important world literature, which began to emerge in the early 19th century as new world nations strove to achieve independence from Spain and, later, Portugal. The nature of the historical evolution of these nations had an immediate and powerful effect on the developing literature and other cultural forms, and the history of the region has continued to shape the cultural production of all Latin American countries. We will study and discuss, in the light of the region's particular history, the major literary forms: poetry, drama, essays, short stories, and novels. We will place special emphasis on the importance of the literature as the embodiment of a tradition of emergent, multicultural voices speaking through history.
