Particular focus is placed on the work of Roberto Arlt and M-rio de Andrade as exemplars of the movement. \u003cbr\u003eFernando J. Rosenberg provides a theoretical historiography of Latin American literature and the role that modernity and avant-gardism played in it. He finds significant parallels between the cultural battles of the interwar years in Latin America and current debates over the role of the peripheral nation-state within the culture of globalization. Rosenberg establishes that the Latin American avant-garde evolved on its own terms, in polemic dialogue with the European movements, critiquing modernity itself and developing a global geopolitical awareness. In the process these writers created a bridge between postcolonial and postmodern culture, forming a distinct movement that continues its influence today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47613242474647,"sku":"9780822959168","price":5667.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780822959168.webp?v=1775083685","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-avant-garde-and-geopolitics-in-latin-america-9780822959168","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
