A standard text in Latin American culture courses, this unique collection of diverse readings and exclusive interviews focuses on the dynamic tension between tradition and change in contemporary Latin American culture from the Caribbean to Central and South America, including Brazil. The thematic approach of Tradición y cambio highlights key issues in Latin American culture; the selections explore how those issues (such as urbanization or the changing role of the family) alter, enrich, or confound the traditional cultural values and institutions.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great selection of Latin American writings,
By Sir Jebbington (NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tradición y cambio: Lecturas sobre la cultura latinoamericana contemporánea (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Since I believed it unfair for sole reviewer to rate this book one star when the problem they had was with the seller, I felt compelled to share my thoughts about the book. "Tradición y cambio" has a very diverse selection of readings, from non-fiction to poetry to fiction, that I found very informative and enlightening, not to mention inspirational at times. With readings from a wide range of people, times, countries, and circumstances, the book is an excellent overview of Latin American writing.

Book was for a class my son had this summer in his hometown. He is back at school now, but he seemed to like the book OK.
