Specially-commissioned essays by leading experts explore the unity and diversity of the region's cultural expressions. These essays analyse history and politics from the nineteenth century to the present day and consider the heritage of pre-Columbian and Colonial Latin America. There is a particular focus on narrative as well as on poetry, art and architecture, music, cinema, theatre, and broader issues of popular culture. A final chapter looks at the strong and rapidly expanding influence of latino/a culture in the United States. A chronology and guides to further reading are included, making this volume an invaluable introduction to the rich and varied culture of modern Latin America.Cambridge companions to culture.Arts, Latin AmericanLatin AmericaCivilizationArts, Latin American.980.03King John1950-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996205061103316The Cambridge companion to modern Latin American culture2547660UNISA
