Futurism studies tend to focus on Italy in particular and Europe more generally, but these studies of Latin American art and literature demonstrate the weakness of the center-periphery model by showing native originality and inventiveness rather than hand-me-down thinking. Scholars of the humanities and social sciences examine futurism and caricature and satires of it in the region. Among their topics are wet gunpowder: anarchism and futurism meet in Montevideo, futurism and cubism in the early poetics of Mexican Estridentismo and Brazilian Modernismo, whether F. T. Marrinetti's 1926 visit to the Morro da Favela was heavenly heights or reign of the dangerous classes, Ramón Alva de la Canal's caricature of Diego Rivera's address to the nation, and a futurist train derailed in Brazil. The issue also contains a country report from Mexico, archive reports, and book reviews. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
