THE LATIN AMERICAN REPRESENTATION AND THE UNITED STATES’ SOFT POWER THROUGH THE BROADWAY STAGES
Keywords:
Soft Power, Latin America, Broadway, Representation, United StatesAbstract
This article aims to address the different ways in which the Latin American figure has been or still is represented on the stages of Broadway, the core of the American musical theater, understanding how its dramatizations can influence and expand specific American convictions. The way characterization is done can help perpetuate stereotypes or break walls, remodeling outdated visions, using the concept of soft power to do so.
