	Jospeh Freeman's Introduction to PROLETARIAN LITERATURE IN THE UNITED STATES
		The broad grasp of literature and its problems, the rich fibre of the discussions, sensitivity to the esthetic and social implications of the artist's craft--all attest to the fact that Marxist criticism is winning its honored place in the world of letters.
		They distort the past, the present, and the future; and since they fill the pages of the conservative and liberal press, their lies and libels are bound to have some effect even on writers who are on the side of the proletariat.
		Revolutionary literature is no longer a sect but a leaven in American literature as a whole, as was evidenced by the American Writers' Congress last spring.

		He traces continuities between literatures of countries of ethnic origin and the literature of the United States (for example, discussing the influences of Cuban writers on Cuban-American literature), but notes the ruptures and particularities as well.

	Puerto Rican Literature in the United States: Stages and Perspectives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Understandably, Puerto Rican literature in the twentieth century has been obsessed with the United States, whose presence not only lurks, allegorically, as the awesome colossus to the north but is manifest in every aspect of national life.
		The first Puerto Ricans to write about life in the United States were political exiles from the independence struggle against Spain, who came to New York in the late decades of the nineteenth century to escape the clutches of the colonial authorities.
		Despite the sharp disconnections between Island- and United States-based traditions, and between stages of the literary history here, it is still necessary to talk about modern Puerto Rican literature as a whole and of the emigrant literature—including the Nuyorican—as an extension or manifestation of that national literature.

		Lecture: Emerson may or may not be the daemon of United States literary culture, but his work provides a convenient and useful fulcrum from which to balance various competing and contradictory narratives of our history and our writing.
		Lecture: "Oral tradition is the foundation of literature," according to N.
