Because science fiction is part of Latin American popular culture, it reflects cultural and social concerns and comments on contemporary society. While there is a growing body of criticism on Latin American science fiction, most studies treat only a single author or work. This reference offers a broad overview of Latin American science fiction. Included are alphabetically arranged entries on 70 Latin American science fiction writers Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 213-218) and index Notes English Print version record Subject Science fiction, Latin American -- History and criticism -- Dictionaries Science fiction, Latin American -- Bio-bibliography -- Dictionaries Authors, Latin American -- Biography -- Dictionaries Authors, Latin American Science fiction, Latin American Spaans.
