Turbulent Decade Remembered - Scenes From the Latin American Sixties

Zusatztext "The Sixties marked a turning point in politics, literature, and artistic expression in general throughout Latin America. They constitute a foundational moment that went far beyond the avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century in fostering continental commonality and transcontinental cultural awareness. Sorensen's book is ambitious in scope, and she engages in a more complex reflection on the intersection of aesthetics and politics in times of change than have some of her predecessors. An extremely engaging, highly intelligent, and most exciting study." Informationen zum Autor Diana Sorensen is James F.
