La literatura latinoamericana : una herramienta comunicacional para la memoria Siglo XX, el boom en proceso de guerrillas y dictaduras

Abstract

The emergence of the Latin American novel boom is for many the most important phenomenon in the history of the continent's literature, since it is attributed to the "coming of age of letters in Latin America", writers and intellectuals from the continent are launched to write and publish to the world what was happening from a necessarily Americanized perspective, where the political and cultural context that the continent lived in a twentieth century convulsed by world wars, the emergence of totalitarian regimes in Europe and Asia is exposed, the construction of new world powers and nuclear threats, events that marked Latin American history, effectively influenced by European totalitarianisms, giving rise to dictatorships later supported by the United States, the emergence of guerrillas and the Cuban revolution as the triumph of Soviet communism in America.
