The readings that follow are presented with insightful commentary and encompass such themes as \"Civilized Folk Marry the Barbarians\" (including José Martí's \"Our America\") and \"Boom Goes the Literature: Magical Realism as the True Latin America?\" (featuring Elena Garro's essay \"It's the Fault of the Tlaxcaltecas\").
