Cien anos de identidad: Introduccion a la literatura
latinoamericana del siglo XX [One Hundred Years of Identity:
Introduction to Twentieth-Century Latin American Literature] is an
advanced Spanish textbook and Latin American literature anthology,
guiding students through the critical analysis of fourteen literary
and filmic texts published between 1889 and 1995, including works
from Jorge Luis Borges, Isabel Allende, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez
that represent some of the seminal works of Latin America. The
textbook is designed to introduce students to the richness of
twentieth-century Latin American literature and culture while
building their skills in textual analysis through an examination of
the theme of identity. The featured texts examine the complex and
multifaceted topic of identity as the authors and protagonists
struggle to understand themselves, determine their relationship to
the world and others, and give meaning and significance to their
existence. The textbook guides students step-by-step through
critical analysis by presenting a range of tools and progressing
from simple to more complex exercises and activities throughout the
book. It is divided into four units based on various types of
identity formation: (1) racial, ethnic, gender, and class identity;
(2) existential(ist) identity; (3) temporal and spatial identity;
(4) political and sexual identity. Serving as both a Latin American
literature anthology and an upper-level Spanish textbook, Cien anos
de identidad aims to hone reading and interpretive strategies while
also improving Spanish vocabulary and comprehension, oral and
written communication, and cultural competency. Features: *Complete
unabridged works from the following authors: Isabel Allende, Jorge
Luis Borges, Rosario Castellanos, Julio Cortazar, Ruben Dario,
Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jose Marti, Judith Ortiz
Cofer, and Sergio Vodanovic*Complete pedagogy included for the
novel El beso de la mujer arana by Manuel Puig and the film Fresa y
chocolate by Tomas Gutierrez Alea and Juan Carlos Tabio, although
these two works are not anthologized in the textbook*Additional
cultural contexts and author biographies for each text, as well as
appropriate glosses and numbered lines for easy reference in class
discussions*Four end-of-unit chapters focused on comparative
literature strategies that are designed to coach students on how to
compare authors and texts across common themes and further improve
critical analysis strategies*Seventeen post-reading quizzes or
homework assignments as well as a final examination, available to
