Latin America Books: An Annotated Bibliography for High School and Colleges.
Wilgus, Karna S., Comp.
This annotated bibliography citing 479 books on Latin America is a revised and updated version of a 1969 edition available as ED 059 120. The emergence of independent nations in the English-speaking Caribbean and other realignments in hemisphere affairs, as well as the appearance of new materials, indicated the need for a new edition. The revision places emphasis on cultural aspects of Latin American and includes two new sections -- one on Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans in the United States, and one on Mexican Americans. Part one of the bibliography covers Latin America as a whole with subheadings for general works, geography, history, art, music, literature, economics, politics, hemisphere relations, and sociology; and part two covers individual countries and regions. Each subject category lists books for the student and then the teacher. Further references are also given for teachers and librarians. Annotations include an indication of appropriateness for younger, average, better, and more advanced students. Book selections are made on the basis of organization, usefulness, readability and helpful aids such as maps--with preference given to Latin writers. All the books cited are available in English; paperback editions are listed where available. The bibliography concludes with subject and author indexes. (JH)
