We published with Dr. Iram Evangelista, Dr. Erbey Mendoza Negrete and myself, an analysis of six Latin American identity traits from the perspective of four contemporary writers.
Abstract: This article presents certain Latin American traits from the works of four prestigious and contemporary Latin American writers: Gioconda Belli, Gonzalo Rojas, Augusto Monterroso y Juan José Arreola. The traits discussed include politics, the religious cult, the messianic vision, family, couples and the father figure. We argue that it is very important for people to understand their own culture and identity, to explore and not abandon the conversations about their countries’ literary works, as they reflect, report and critique them.

Abstract: Given that strategic planning has traditionally worked by listening only to the voice of managers, in addition to studying their environments and functional processes, this initiative considers it fundamental to listen to the voice of the user, considering that they are the ones who truly face the conditions of the quality of library services.
