Telenovelas en el mundo latino

This book offers a general overview and easy understanding of the history of the telenovela in Latin America. The telenovelas, a variety apart from television series that originate in Latin America, involve key issues of race, class, sexual identity and violence, weaving stories with melodramatic adventures and the search for identity. June Carolyn Erlick analyzes the social implications of issues in telenovelas, in the context of the evolution of television, as an integral part of the modernization of Latin American countries.
