Drama Excess Men in bee suits Often erroneously compared to soap
operas of the United States, outside of the necessary and sometimes
fantastical dramatic story arc, however, the "telenovela" differs
greatly from U.S. soap operas and have regional and cultural
distinctions throughout Latin America. In "Telenovelas," Ilan
Stavans has gathered over two-dozen essays covering the
"telenovela" for readers to better understand the phenomenon and
its myriad layers.
Branching off from "radionovelas," the "telenovela" was exported
from pre-Castro Cuba during the 1950s. The essays found in
"Telenovelas" covers a broad view of the genre, television's impact
in Latino culture, as well as more in-depth discussions of specific
"telenovelas" throughout the Spanish-speaking television audience
in the North America. Also explored is how "telenovelas" depict
stereotypes, respond to gender and class roles, and examines the
differences in topic and thematic choices as well as production
values unique to each country.
