How the Nobel Literature Prize Changed After the End of History in 1989

Between 1989 and 1995 the winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature gave the lie to Francis Fukuyama's claim that the end of the Cold War was the end of history.

The seven winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature were:
1989 Camilo José Cela (1916–2002) Spain
1990 Octavio Paz (1914–1998) Mexico
1991 Nadine Gordimer (1923–2014) South Africa
1992 Derek Walcott (1930–2017) St Lucia
1993 Toni Morrison (1931–2019) USA
1994 Kenzaburō Ōe (1935-2023) Japan
1995 Seamus Heaney (1939–2013) Ireland
