Mundo Nuevo

}} ''Mundo Nuevo'' (1966–1971, Spanish for "the New World") was an influential Spanish-language periodical, being a monthly ''revista de cultura'' (literary magazine) dedicated to new Latin American literature. Sponsored by the Ford Foundation, the magazine was founded by Emir Rodríguez Monegal in Paris, France, in 1966 and distributed worldwide. Monegal edited it until 1968 and resigned after a five-part installation in ''the New York Times'' that revealed the Congress for Cultural Freedom, a source of funding for the magazine, was a front for the CIA. In fact, it was started as a successor of another Spanish language magazine of the Congress, namely ''Cuadernos''. ''Mundo Nuevo'' stopped in 1971 after 58 issues.

''Mundo Nuevo'' prepublished then-new writers, such as Mario Vargas Llosa or chapters of Gabriel García Márquez's ''One Hundred Years of Solitude'', famous poets such as Octavio Paz and younger writers, such as Guillermo Cabrera Infante or Severo Sarduy. It contributed to the 1960s publishing phenomenon dubbed "The Boom" in Latin American literature. Provided by Wikipedia
