This article is a literary-historical analysis of the reception of Latin American literature in the literary magazines Polja and Delo during the Cold War. These magazines, published in Serbia, had an important place in the literary life of the former Yugoslavia. The aim of the paper is to show how Latin American literature entered Yugoslav magazines, and which writers and literary ideas were most represented. The first part of the article is dedicated to presenting the political and literary situation in former Yugoslavia and, more precisely, the way Yugoslav culture opened up to Latin America. The central part of the article analyses translations, critical texts, and essays published in Polja magazine and then those published in Delo magazine. It highlights how, although they lacked a systematic approach, Yugoslav periodicals and publishers have been closely linked, and together they have contributed to building new cultural ties between the former Yugoslavia and Latin America.
