Latin American vanguardism-a precursor to the widely acclaimed work of contemporary Latin American writers-was stimulated by the European avant-garde movements of the World War I era. But as Unruh's wide-ranging study attests, the vanguards of Latin America-emerging from the continent's own historical circumstances-developed a very distinct character and voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough manifestos, experimental texts, and ribald public performance, the vanguardists' work intertwined art, culture, and the politics of the day to produce a powerful brand of aesthetic activism, one that sparked an entire rethinking of the meaning of art and culture throughout Latin America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vicky Unruh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520087941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520087941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 5.90w x 1.02d","brand":"Vicky Unruh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44540325232895,"sku":"9780520087941","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_851f6426-0325-4032-8017-b652f788213c.jpg?v=1700587260","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/latin-american-vanguards-vicky-unruh-9780520087941","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
