The Cambridge History of Latin America is the first authoritative large-scale hsitory of the whole fo Latin America - Mexico and Central America, the Spanish-speaking Caribbean (and Haiti), Spanish South America and Brazil - from the first contacts between the native peoples of the Americas and Europeans in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries to the present day. A major work of collaborative international schoarship, the Cambridge History of Latin America has been planned, co-ordinated and edited by a single editor, Dr. Leslie Bethell, reader in Hispanic American and Brazilian History at University College London. It will be published in eight volumes. Each volume or set of volumes examines a period in the economic, soical, political, intellectual and cultural history of Latin America.
Industry Reviews
"A particularly commendable feature of this scholarly undertaking lies in the fact that the corps of historians who have contributed to these volumes have, in many cases, read one another's essays, and have commented critically and offered helpful suggestions as the project went forward. This has resulted in an optimum degree of competency and high level of scholarship. The material presented and the varying interpretaions offered combine to form a highly readable text and most enjoyable experience for the reader. A carefully detailed index is to be found in each volume. In addition, all three tomes, taken together, contain more than 200 pages of richly documented bibliographic materials, based on the subject matter of each chapter." Solomon Lipp, Revista Canadiense De Estudios Hispanicos "The overall impression is one of solid scholarship and sound judgement, a reflection on both the authors and editor Leslie Bethell...likely to serve as an indispensable reference for scholars, as a convenient summary of recent scholarship...and as a standard statement of current conventional wisdoms against which future research and writing will be framed and judged. In short, these volumes amply justify the vision that launched them." Aamerican Historical Review "A genuine classic in the same scholarly, authoritative and comprehensive tradition as its predecessors." Bulletin of Latin American Research
