Huge and sudden changes sweep through Latin American literature as well as its politics, whether the Mexican Revolution of the 1910s, the Cuban Revolution of 1959, and the Sandinista Revolution in 1980s Nicaragua, or the modernismo of 1880s Rubén Darío, the poets of the avant-garde 1930s such as Neruda, and the “Boom” of the new narrative of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Our survey will focus on such turning points in Latin American history through its literature and cinema. Taught in Spanish. Enrollment Limit: 20
