    Description
    Study of the literary trends and some of the best novels, poetry, and short stories that exemplify Spanish American literature of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Students will become familiar with the cultural, sociological, historical, and political framework of the time the stories discussed take place; and analyze the concerns that the writings approach. Consequently, this course shows how the literature reflects the fantastic reality of the Spanish American world. Cultural aspects of the Spanish-speaking-world are highlighted.
