Piece Description
What's the Word? Cosmopolitanism in Latin America During the early and mid-twentieth century, many Latin American writers engaged with international literary and cultural movements. This bridge building, as some called it, enriched the literary scene in Latin America, but it also raised questions about the definition of national identity. 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) If you are interested in this, see our piece at: http://prx.org/pieces/27702 What's the Word? Puerto Rican Literature on the Island and in the United States.
