Literature and society

Annotation Language in America; new world meditations and mediations. Cultural historian Morse (retired Secretary of the Latin American Program at the Wilson Center in Washington, DC) inquires into the ways in which speech and poetry evoke the common historical experience of North and South America, and examines the transatlantic of European languages. He employs political ideology to contrast the traditions of Anglo and Latin America, while surveying contemporary pressures for ideological change. In a highly eclectic way, he considers the problems involved in conveying the Latin American experience to North Americans.
