Contexto Histórico de la Literatura Hispanoamericana

Los países hispanoamericanos estuvieron durante tres siglos unidos a la monarquía española. En 1898, las últimas colonias alcanzaron la independencia. A lo largo del siglo XX, muchos de los países hispanoamericanos han sufrido regímenes dictatoriales, revoluciones y contrarrevoluciones, lo que ha provocado una gran inestabilidad política y ha mermado su bienestar económico. Las dictaduras militares, la pobreza generalizada y la defensa de la independencia económica y cultural son problemas que aparecen reflejados en casi todas las obras de los autores hispanoamericanos del siglo XX.
