Question SA-1. Here is the text reference (p. 132/1):
Latin American literature and culture has always been rich in the local
or regional aspect. Some of the first writings to come out of the New World
were descriptions of things that were new and different in the discoverers'
experience. In later centuries, writers continued to record and chronicle
the special and sometimes quaint ways and customs of the inhabitants of
the continent's different regions. This current has had many variants; for
example, the cattle culture produced its own strong regional literature
in Argentina and elsewhere. The genre known as "Costumbrismo"
is sometimes used to describe these various currents, which reached their
peak in a movement bridging the gap between the unbridled Romantic movement
in Latin America (mid-19th Century) and the less emotional currents of the
latter part of the century (Realism, Naturalism, and Modernism).
