[edit] Sentence style and grammar

Read: Rama is more famous for his criticism, and in particular his analysis of the Latin American Boom, its motivations, origins, and possible consequences.

The above statement is not legible, it is difficult to understand, I am restating the meaning as: Rama is better known for his criticisms, particularly, for his analysis on the Latin American Boon, its motivation, origins, and possible consequences.

this discussion is open but this is clearly an evidence of the lack of understanding on how writing composition is important for every reader. Now, we can also note that many web sites are not a reliable source of information, let alone verifiable. It is seems that this entry lacks of verifiable sources. Just two issues. Interesting sometimes we focused in somebody else's when there is a lot to fix in our houses. Let us clean up this entry first than anything. -"-Todos Llegan de Noche, todos se van de día" 16:56, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

It's also just wrong. Rama's not particularly well-known for his analysis of the Boom, rather (as the opening sentence of this article correctly states) for his criticism of modernismo and his theorization of transculturation. (One might add also La ciudad letrada's quasi-Foucauldian analysis of the colonial city.) As such, I've simply eliminated this sentence. --Jbmurray 19:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Look it happens to all of us [mistakes that we make, that is]: It is "Foucaultian" in any case, great philosopher. Please, Loot at yourself. As Foulcault recommends in Madness & Civilization or the Birth of the Clinic; and you just revert yourself, I don't know! it look like we are in the same panegyric, the best in your future endeavors -"-Todos Llegan de Noche, todos se van de día" 01:52, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
