Negritude, Indigenisme and Nationalism in El Sueño del Celta by Mario Vargas LLosa

Abstract

This article aims to study the concepts of Negritude, Indigenism and Nationalism in El sueño del celta by Mario Vargas Llosa. Indeed, with this novel, the Peruvian writer seems to dig out these sociopolitical and literary movements in order to convene a new judgement of colonialism or neocolonialism in Africa, Latin America and Europe. This article analyses this anticolonial and anti-imperialist discourse, pronounced first by the protagonist and behind him by the author himself, and particularly shows the intrinsic relationship among these three concepts in the fictional plot. After defining the concepts, the analysis insists on the denunciation of the domination and oppression and the vindication of a new humanism.
