Abstract

Latin American Panorama
Weyl, Nathaniel | January 1, 1938 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses books and authors. The continent and a half which lies southeast of the Rio Grande is virtually terra incognita to the North American mind. To be sure, nostalgic writers have made frequent literary flights from an industrialized society in crisis into the bosom of idealized Indian communities. But these vicarious pilgrimages to the primitive generally contributed no more to an understanding of America South than did philosopher Jean J. Rousseau to anthropology. Writer Carleton Beals's "America South" is a social history of the stresses and strains molding the destinies of Hispanic America.
