This chapter focuses on a paradigmatic misencounter between an American experiencer and a Latin American reader. Examining an implicit debate about the sources of Walt Whitman’s poetry and vision of the Americas, I argue that Waldo Frank, one of the twentieth century’s main literary ambassadors from the US to Latin America, positioned Whitman as the representative US writer whose antibookish experiential aesthetics could serve as a model for “American” writers both in the North and in the South. I show how Frank’s framework provided a foil for Borges’s idiosyncratic view that Whitman’s poetry about America derived entirely from his readings of European and US writers. Although much of the best scholarship on Whitman’s reception in Latin America has concentrated on poets like José Martí and Pablo Neruda, who adapted Whitman’s naturalism, I contend that Borges’s iconoclastic portrait of Whitman as a reader profoundly influenced a range of anti-experiential literary theories and practices in Latin America.

This text is an approach to the concept of “right to speak” that has been used from various disciplines and at various levels of analysis, particularly in the political context of Latin America. Once the concept is understood, its use is illustrated in El libro centroamericano de los muertos, by Balam Rodrigo, and Cartas a la primavera, by Shantí Vera. In both books the voices that come from the south of the country are heard.

Resumo: Este artigo visa contribuir para aumentar o conhecimento sobre a importância da América Latina e do Atlântico Sul no quadro da Nova Rota da Seda da China. O principal argumento reside no fato de existirem vários interesses logísticos, econômicos, bem como securitários, que explicam o interesse de Pequim nestas duas regiões, menos estudadas em comparação com outras áreas onde a Nova Rota da Seda chinesa é mais ativa. O método qualitativo, através da análise hermenêutica, é a metodologia em que se assenta a presente investigação. A partir da análise desenvolvida, são elaboradas algumas críticas e sugestões geoestratégicas ao Governo chinês, a fim de explorar melhor as oportunidades e benefícios que o Atlântico Sul pode apresentar para a Nova Rota da Seda chinesa, inspirados pela crença de que o século XXI não será necessariamente um ‘século Pacífico’, pode muito bem ser Atlântico. Quanto à América Latina, considera-se pertinente a busca da China por ampliar seu soft power e transparência a fim de evitar ou mitigar suspeitas sobre alguns dos seus projetos na região. Palavras-chave: China, Nova Rota da Seda, América Latina, Atlântico Sul. Abstract: This paper aims to contribute to increase knowledge about the importance of Latin America and the South Atlantic within the framework of China’s New Silk Road. The central argument is that there are several logistic, economic, as well as security interests which explain Beijing’s interests in these two regions, less studied in comparison to other areas where China’s New Silk Road is more active. The qualitative method, through the hermeneutic analysis, is the methodology supporting this investigation. In the end, we address several geostrategic recommendations to the Chinese Government, in order to better exploit the opportunities and benefits that the South Atlantic may present to China’s New Silk Road, inspired by the belief that the 21st century will not necessarily be a ‘Pacific century’, it may well be an Atlantic one. As for Latin America, we strongly recommend that China improves its soft power and transparency in order to avoid or mitigate suspicion about some of its projects in the region.Keywords: China, New Silk Road, Latin America, South Atlantic.

The Way

One of the constant worries of the United States, since the role of a dominant world-power has been thrust on her, is the situation of Latin America. Relations with Canada require thought and preoccupation but they produce no deep concern. Canada and the United States understand each other and they form their policies in terms of friendly adjustment. Yet the same is not true when we consider the bloc of nations stretching to the south of the Rio Grande. They form two thirds of the geographic stretch of the western hemisphere, and they constitute a population equal to ours. The dependence on Latin America on the part of the United States in her capacity as an international power is evident. What is not evident is the way to make our friendship with our southern neighbors a more stable thing than the fragile arrangement which confronts us in the present.

It was standing-room only in the South Graham Elementary School (SGE) gym at the “Latin America through the Decades” event on a September evening in 2016. Principal Elizabeth Price welcomed students and their families, speaking Spanish and English in her usual fashion. An audience of more than two hundred people cheered and clapped as kindergarten classes walked onstage wearing white gloves and jean jackets, Michael Jackson– style. They performed choreographed dances to Latin pop music from the 1980s and sang songs with great enthusiasm and huge smiles. Older students followed with different performances highlighting music from the Americas. Afterward, a salsa band appeared onstage and played music as families met teachers and students got stamps on “passports” they had made in school. Despite the fact that the gym was crowded and hot, the audience lingered, laughed, and learned about the extraordinary work of the SGE community, which has embraced learning models that celebrate the heritage and linguistic skills of its Latino students....
