Broadly based on the theme of human rights in Latin America, Writing Toward Hope is an anthology of contemporary literature-fiction, essays, plays, poems-by some of the most prominent and well-known Latin American writers of the 20th century.

Writers such as Pablo Neruda, Isabel Allende, Nancy Morejon, Jacobo Timerman, Reinaldo Arenas, Elena Poniatowska, and Ariel Dorfman weigh in on issues of human rights and social justice in Latin America today. |
