The Columbia guide to the Latin American novel since 1945

"In this guide, Raymond Leslie Williams explores the cultural, political, and historical events that have shaped the Latin American and Caribbean novel since the end of World War II. In addition to works originally composed in English, Williams covers novels written in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch, and Haitian Creole, and traces the influence of modernization, revolution, and democratization on the writing of this era. An alphabetical guide offers biographies of authors, coverage of major topics, and brief introductions to individual novels."--Jacket.
