DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Latin American culture has given birth to numerous dramatic works, though it has often been difficult to locate information about these plays and playwrights. This volume traces the history of Latin American theater, including the Nuyorican and Chicano theaters of the United States, and surveys its history from the pre-Columbian period to the present. Sections cover individual Latin American countries. Each section features alphabetically arranged entries for playwrights, independent theaters, and cultural movements. The volume begins with an overview of the development of theater in Latin America. Each of the country sections begins with an introductory survey and concludes with copious bibliographical information. The entries for playwrights provide factual information about the dramatist's life and works and place the author within the larger context of international literature. Each entry closes with a list of works by and about the playwright. A selected, general bibliography appears at the end of the volume.

His politics: a heady mix of Evita, his own dead mother, and anti-communism; his law: the code of the pool hall. A chance meeting with Chaves, a disillusioned priest, sets Triste on a career of violence as a member of Argentina's death squads. The changing relationship between the two men is subtly woven into the history of the period. Vazquez Rial's cool, urban style strikes out rich new territory in Latin American writing."--Back cover.
