Hispanic America
Spanish-speaking Americas
Hispanic America refers to the Spanish-speaking countries of the Americas—Mexico, Central America, and most of South America except Brazil.
The term distinguishes these nations from Latin America, which includes Portuguese-speaking Brazil, and from the broader Americas, which encompasses English- and French-speaking regions.
Hispanic American literature flourished in the twentieth century.
