Continuing my series of updates of our Latin American and Caribbean acquisitions, I am sending my next set of materials to you. This list includes materials of general natures of Latin American and the Caribbean. It covers politics, economics, indigenous issues, women issues, literature, etc… Please enjoy these titles.
In other news, the Latin American Theater Review journal is available free and online at this address, https://journals.ku.edu/index.php/latr
Also, here is a very interesting article about Latin American journals both in English and Spanish at this blog, LATAM blog at http://blogs.infolatam.com/latamblog/2008/04/08/las-mejores-revistas-cien=tificas-sobre-latinoamerica/#more-165
For those interested in bibliographies for Latin American materials, I will like to recommend visiting the Latin American Information Series sponsored by the SALALM (Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials), a professional organization for Latin American Subject librarians. The bibliographies vary in topic (academic publishing, film, literature) and in language (English and Spanish). The most recent one would be of great interesting for those of you studying female writers from Central America. Visit the site at http://www.libs.uga.edu/lais/index.html to read and download this useful resource.
Now, here is the latest list of books available in HOMER. Enjoy! Marisol
