The Emergence of Latin American Science Fiction

The Emergence of Latin American Science Fiction

Early Classics of Science Fiction: Book 23

Rachel Haywood Ferreira

Early science fiction has often been associated almost exclusively with Northern industrialized nations. In this groundbreaking exploration of the science fiction written in Latin America prior to 1920, Rachel Haywood Ferreira argues that science fiction has always been a global genre. She traces how and why the genre quickly reached Latin America and analyzes how writers in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico adapted science fiction to reflect their own realities.

Among the texts discussed are one of the first defenses of Darwinism in Latin America, a tale of a time-traveling history book, and a Latin American Frankenstein. Latin American science fiction writers have long been active participants in the SF literary tradition, expanding the limits of the genre and deepening our perception of the role of science and technology in the Latin American imagination.

The book includes a chronological bibliography of science fiction published from 1775 to 1920 in all Latin American countries.
