An American Literary Tradition from 1542 to the Present
Main Idea
Why Latino literature is regarded as a twentieth-century phenomenon even though the beginning of it started in the 1960s.
论点/段落大意
作者的意图：总结Latino literature是一种现代产物，但是其实他们1960就出现了却一直没有被认可，解释了为什么没有被认可，后来因为一个research为Latino literture 正名。
作者的手法：文章背景+点题内容 - 举例证明(过去)- 将例子继续衍生+现代研究结论 - 间接解释了第一段的点题句。
P1:
第一句: Latino literature is regarded as a twentieth-century phenomenon. → 换句话说，Latino authors are now appreciated by the mainstream.
之后的段落: Although the Latino authors produced a substantial and impressive body of writing back in 1960s, they are not recognized by mainstreams.
P2:
Two examples to demonstrate why the Latino authors are not appreciated.
Villegas de Magnon
William Carlos Willams - He was not included in the sphere of the U.S. Latino culture because of the lack of appreciation of his Latino roots. However, recent research showed that his work reflects a new world application of the term “American”. [这句就是下一段的结论]
P3:
继续讲之前的Research: Research was conducted to study the Spanish American Roots of WCW and showed that his work was strongly influenced by the great appreciation of his Latino roots. His work is the representation of Latino American literature.
印象深刻/优美句子
What this anthology hopes to demonstrate, however, is that the spectacular flowering of U.S. Latino letters from the 1960s onward grew from seeds carefully and painstakingly sown by earlier writers.
