Telenovelas in Pan-Latino Context, Paperback / softback Book

Telenovelas in Pan-Latino Context Paperback / softback

Part of the Latin American Topicos series

Paperback / softback

Description

This concise book provides an accessible overview of the history of the telenovela in Latin America within a pan-Latino context, including the way the genre crosses borders between Latin America and the United States.

Telenovelas, a distinct variety of soap operas originating in Latin America, take up key issues of race, class, sexual identity and violence, interweaving stories with melodramatic romance and quests for identity.

June Carolyn Erlick examines the social implications of telenovela themes in the context of the evolution of television as an integral part of the modernization of Latin American countries.
