During the 1960s and 1970s, when writers such as Julio Cortazar,
Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Mario Vargas Llosa
entered the international literary mainstream, Cold War cultural
politics played an active role in disseminating their work in the
United States. Deborah Cohn documents how U.S. universities, book
and journal publishers, philanthropic organisations, cultural
centres, and authors co-ordinated their efforts to bring Latin
American literature to a U.S. reading public during this period,
when interest in the region was heightened by the Cuban Revolution.
She also traces the connections between the endeavours of private
organisations and official foreign policy goals. The high level of
interest in Latin America paradoxically led the U.S. government to
restrict these authors' physical presence in the United States
through the McCarran-Walter Act's immigration blacklist, even as
cultural organisations cultivated the exchange of ideas with
writers and sought to market translations of their work for the
U.S. market.
