Iberoamericana (Frankfurt am Main, Germany)
With an outline of the most important trends in twentieth-century Latin American literature, Karsten Garscha concludes in this issue his attempt to trace the long path by which Latin American literature liberated itself from cultural dependence and developed its own distinctive character. His work is directed primarily toward students of Latin American studies and readers of IBEROAMERICANA who are seeking a concise and clearly organized introduction. The textual examples are intended to draw attention to the rich abundance of fascinating books produced in Latin America during the twentieth century and to encourage readers to explore them. It should also become clear that the literature reaching us today from Latin America, through both its subject matter and its form, demands an engagement with Latin America's history and present-day reality and calls for a "Dialogue of Civilizations," in Garaudy's phrase.
In her translation critique, Christine Wischmann compares two German translations of a novel by Jorge Amado -- one published in East Germany and the other in West Germany. We asked the two translators, Sigurd Schmidt and Curt Meyer-Clason, to comment on her analysis. Their responses conclude the article.
In his essay, Manfred Wöhlcke addresses a current political issue: the Brazilian elections of October and November 1978 and possible changes in Brazil's domestic and economic policies.
