The act of preservation and transformation of the Latino culture

Abstract EN

This study deals with the significance of the preservation and transformation of the Latino culture, having an example in the selected poems of Latino-American poets.

In writing about the significance of the preservation and transformation of the Latino culture, Latino-American poets fill the spiritual and cultural vacuum.

As potential artists, they recreate the distant homelands in their poems, instilling thereby feelings of rootedness, pride, and a sense of belonging to one‟s historical and cultural backgrounds.

These concepts are important for people living in foreign lands, like the LatinoAmericans, to keep their traditions alive in the United States, where such values are often misunderstood.

This paper is written in the New Criticism Approach, 'New Historicism'.

That is to understand the relationship between a text and the political, social, and economic circumstances in which it originated.
