Uhmmm i dont think including diaspora literature in a tournament of latam literary classics makes a lot of sense. Not getting into the argument about whether latine people living in the us are latine thats not the point i just think "latam lit" should you know. Be made by people in latinoamerica

#as an immigrant (even tho im still in latam) i dont think that latines living in the us/outside latam are less latine but when i think #'classic latam lit' it doesnt make sense to me to include stuff not made in latan #latam*#i guess its like saying 'atla isnt anime cuz it wasnt made in japan'#but i do think the country where the book is from does matter in this case??? because latam IS a place not a genre ???#like if a classic novel was written by a latine person in the us thats usamerican literature. to me
