 With the success of the Boom , the work of a previous generation of writers gained access to a new and expanded public . These precursors include Jorge Luis Borges , Miguel Ángel Asturias , Arturo Uslar Pietri and Alejo Carpentier , Juan Carlos Onetti , and Juan Rulfo .

 Cortázar was influenced by Borges , as well as by Edgar Allan Poe . He was perhaps the most radically experimental of all the Boom authors . His most important work , and the one that propelled him to international recognition , is the highly experimental novel Hopscotch ( 1963 ) . This consists of 155 chapters , 99 of which are " expendable " , which can be read in multiple orders according to the reader 's predilection .

 The 1910s were a productive time for Du Bois . In 1911 he attended the First Universal Races Congress in London and he published his first novel , The Quest of the Silver Fleece . Two years later , Du Bois wrote , produced , and directed a pageant for the stage , The Star of Ethiopia . In 1915 , Du Bois published The Negro , a general history of black Africans , and the first of its kind in English . The book rebutted claims of African inferiority , and would come to serve as the basis of much Afrocentric historiography in the 20th century . The Negro predicted unity and solidarity for colored people around the world , and it influenced many who supported the Pan @-@ African movement .

 Considering the literary impact of Malcolm X 's Autobiography , we may note the tremendous influence of the book , as well as its subject generally , on the development of the Black Arts Movement . Indeed , it was the day after Malcolm 's assassination that the poet and playwright , Amiri Baraka , established the Black Arts Repertory Theater , which would serve to catalyze the aesthetic progression of the movement . Writers and thinkers associated with the Black Arts movement found in the Autobiography an aesthetic embodiment of his profoundly influential qualities , namely , " the vibrancy of his public voice , the clarity of his analyses of oppression 's hidden history and inner logic , the fearlessness of his opposition to white supremacy , and the unconstrained ardor of his advocacy for revolution ' by any means necessary .

 The Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s established the African @-@ American literary canon in the United States . Manhattan 's vibrant visual art scene in the 1950s and 1960s was a center of the American pop art movement , which gave birth to such giants as Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein . Perhaps no other artist is as associated with the downtown pop art movement of the late 1970s as Andy Warhol , who socialized at clubs like Serendipity 3 and Studio 54 .
