The generation of the 40's

[edit]

Possibly it should be "Generation of the 50's". René Marqués' most distinguished books are from that decade. And he and others writers of the decade formed the intelectual group called "La generación del 50". Some historians may debate around if it was truly the 40's or the 50's, but when you visit the historian at the Arecibo's town, they tell you [also in the movie at the Museum MAHA (Museo de Arte e Historia de Arecibo)] it was called The generation of the 50's. I understand what I'm saying right now is merly anecdotal if I don't submit any evidence of my last point. But in any case, this WP Puerto Rican literature has a section called "Modern and Contemporary Puerto Rican Literature" were René Marqués is referenced as pertaining to "The generation of 50's". — Preceding unsigned comment added by JairoLAM (talkcontribs) 09:16, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Done You made a good and valid point. The thing is that "La generación del 50" was also known as "La generación del 40 and 45" in Puerto Rico. I agree with in you in the change and I made them, since the main literary contributions which Marquez made were during the 1950s. Thank you once again for bringing this up.

    • Thanks. Yes, I thought it was "La generación del 50" exactly for that motive. It was a good thing that the last summer I was doing a lot of work at Arecibo Municipal and spoke with a historian and watch the documentary made about PR at the museum at Arecibo (which is dedicated to him). If it wasn't for that I wouldn't had remembered about the name of the group. JairoLAM (talk) 00:27, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
