Colombian literature, as an expression of the culture of Colombia, is heterogeneous due to the coexistence of Spanish, African and Native American heritages in an extremely diverse geography. Five distinct historical and cultural traditions can be identified, with their own socioeconomic history: the Caribbean coast, Greater Antioquia, the Cundinamarca-Boyacá Highlands, Greater Tolima and the Western Valley.〔"Colombia." by Robert L. Sims. ''Concise Encyclopedia of Latin American Literature''. London: Routledge, 2000.〕 ==Colonial period (1499-1810)== Under the Spanish Empire, major literary topics included conquest narratives, chronicles, religious devotion, and love themes. Some of the best-known authors of this period are: *Hernando Domínguez Camargo (Bogotá, 1606 – Tunja, 1659), Jesuit priest and writer.
