This dissertation examines the Indianist poetry which constitutes part of the works of four Latin Spanish American poets: Manuel Gonzalez Prada of Peru, Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda of Chile, and Rosario Castellanos of Mexico. / While discussing elements comprising the definition of Indianist poetry, such as a protest of the abuse and the lack of opportunity for the predominantly Indian nations during the past five centuries, this work examines the Indianist expressions of each poet. An attempt has been made to determine the causes that motivate these poets to write about Indians while looking for a possible pattern. / For purposes of comparison, an analysis of black poetry is included to demonstrate that the same theme can be found in other types of poetry that deal with social issues. / The conclusion posits the importance of the poetic moments in the life of the four poets. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 51-09, Section: A, page: 3092. / Major Professor: Louis C.
