Teaching the Latin American Boom

Editors: Lucille Kerr, Alejandro Herrero-Olaizola

In the decade from the early 1960s to the early 1970s, Latin American authors found themselves writing for a new audience in both Latin America and Spain and in an ideologically charged climate as the Cold War found another focus in the Cuban Revolution. The writers who emerged in this energized cultural moment—among others, Julio Cortázar (Argentina), Guillermo Cabrera Infante (Cuba), José Donoso (Chile), Carlos Fuentes (Mexico), Gabriel García Márquez (Colombia), Manuel Puig (Argentina), and Mario Vargas Llosa (Peru)—experimented with narrative forms that sometimes bore a vexed relation to the changing political situations of Latin America.

Teaching Modern Latin American Poetries

Edited by Jill S. Kuhnheim and Melanie Nicholson

The essays in this book, groundbreaking for its focus on teaching Latin American poetry, address works from Mexico, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Uruguay, as well as from indigenous communities, including the Kaqchikel Maya and Zapotec. Topics range from Afro-descendant and queer poetries to performance, digital approaches, and translation.
