Latin American literary movement

Latin American literary movements refer to periods when writers in the region shared similar themes, styles, or goals, often reflecting social, political, and cultural changes. For example, Modernismo (late 19th–early 20th century) emphasized beauty and innovation in language, while the Latin American Boom (1960s–70s) introduced innovative storytelling techniques and explored identity and history. These movements helped shape a unique regional voice, blending local traditions with global literary trends, and often aimed to address issues like inequality, revolution, and cultural pride. They are vital to understanding the region’s rich and diverse literary heritage.
