Experience the rich diversity of Hispano-American literature


Spanning from before the Europeans arrived in Spanish America to the present, this anthology will help you develop a deep and extensive appreciation of more than 600 years of Hispano-American literature


The dozens of selections in Pinceladas Literarias Hispanoamericanas represent both traditionally significant writers, as well as the writings of indigenous, female and Afro-Hispanic authors that are not usually included in the official cannon


The result is a collection that gives you a unique and diverse perspective of the Latin American literary world, addresses the repercussions of Spanish colonialization, and presents a rich history of the different periods


Highlights?


Presents selections by writers from 20 countries, including Puerto Rico, from the pre-Columbian era to the 20th century


Includes indigenous writers, and provides more exposure to women writers, independent thinkers who have not been admitted in the Index, Afro-Hispanic writers, and the novisimos who are right now battling the path to fame


Biographies combined with literary commentary enable you to connect each writer's personal history with his or her literary production, which in many cases is inseparable


Exposes you to the Hispanic-American world of ideas, transformation, and struggle


Provides a solid foundation for literary studies including introductory explanations of each literary period, a guide to literary analysis, an appendix for further literary analysis, and ample footnotes to clarify regional sayings
