Abstract
In this article, another preeminent American scholar of Latin American science fiction, Rachel Haywood Ferreira, explores the genre’s earliest- known prototypes in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico. This study was later expanded into her groundbreaking book The Emergence of Latin American Science Fiction (2011), which has become essential reading for all sf researchers interested in the history of this important and rapidly growing sector of non- Anglophone sf. This essay originally appeared in SFS 34, no. 3 (November 2007): 432–62.
