After Columbus’s discovery of America a “new world” emerged.

Although broad in scope, the course focuses on three questions: How did Latin America differentiate itself culturally from Europe? What characterizes the New World criollo tradition? How are national literary canons constructed during the periods of independence? Taught in Spanish.
