Practically postmodernism as a concept originated in the post-colonial Latin-America (Nicaragua) The immediate cause of this concept was the ups and downs of in the hybridized life after the age-old, colonial exploitation. Frederica de Ones published in 1934 a book of poems titled “Anathologea the Poesia & Spanola a Hispanomaricana” where he used the term Postmodernism for the first time as a literary term. Next, Dudley used the term in his book ‘Anthology of Contemporary Latin American Poetry’ in 1942.Arnold Toynbee also used the term post-modern in his book “A study of History” in 1934.In the 50s and 60s Charles Opson used the term frequently. In the 60s, in order to show the sharp deviation from Modernity, Irving Howe and Harry Lavin used the term in a negative sense.
