On this program Cesar Salgado talks about the Cuban journal _Origenes_; John King discusses the Argentine journal _Sur_; and Estelle Tarica talks about Peruvian writer Jose Carlos Mariategui.

Fifteen- and thirty-second promos available.

Well-suited to National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 - October 15)
