Literary and Cultural Studies Landscape in Mexico | Panorama de Estudios Literarios y Culturales en México

Through the National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT), the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), and the Mexican Academy of Language, Mexico continues to advance literary and cultural research with strong emphasis on indigenous literature, postcolonial studies, and Latin American cultural identity.
