Modern Latin American Literature.

Catalog description

This is a course that traces the development of Spanish American literature from Romanticism to the present. The course examines the literature within some of the major themes of this time period, such as colonialism, cultural identity and hybridity, feminism and gender studies, the battle between an autochthonous American voice and the trend toward imitating European and North American literary voices, surrealism and the Avant-garde, and magical realism and its legacy that endures to the present day.
