OLIVA MEDINA, Mario. Tres itinerarios en la creación literaria antiimperialista de Máximo Soto Hall (1899-1928). Prismas [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.1, pp.57-70. ISSN 1852-0499.

This article inquires into the anti-imperialist literary production of Guatemalan writer Maximo Soto Hall. It focuses in two novels and one essay; El Problema, (The Problem), published in 1899, A la sombra de la Casa Blanca, (To the Shadow of the White House), published in 1927 and, his essay of 1928, La intervención norteamericana en Nicaragua (U.S. Interventions in Nicaragua). It is sought to demonstrate that a constant, systematic and insightful concern about the Latin American countries relationship with the US as emerging power spreads through Soto Hall's literary works. The decisive consolidation of the US as a power in the early years of the 20th Century had noticeable repercussion in history, economics, politics and culture for Latin American countries. As long as it was allowed by the documentary sources, it was sought to trace those issues regarding the materiality circulation and receiving of the texts analyzed.

Keywords : Anti-imperialism; Latin-American literature; Máximo Soto Hall.
