The narrative about the native in Latin America. Stages, interconnections, derivations

Abstract

From the fifties, in the last century, the narrators who backed the claim of the native’s situation in their fiction were in favour of less concise perspectives in which cultural and mythical claims prevailed, going away, thus, from the Europeanized view, characteristic of the Indian narrative, and of the political claim very close to Indigenism. In the eighties decade, and after the decline of the Neoindigenism, the narrative about the native will adopt other ways of literary expression such as the testimony, approaching, this way, the literature that was generated about the Indian and his situation from the first years of the Conquest.
