Encyclopedia Of Latin American History And Culture Volume 1 2nd Edition Jay Kinsbruner by Jay Kinsbruner instant download after payment.

This, the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Latin American History and Culture, is a monumental work and represents the best of scholarship on Latin America. Based on the landmark first edition published in 1996, the second edition incorporates new material in substantial ways. It includes 568 new entries, expanding the total number of articles to 5824. One hundred and fifty-five articles have been replaced and 403 were substantially revised. More than 4,000 bibliographies were updated and 537 entries were partially revised
and had bibliographic updates. Of the 3322 biographies, 366 are new and the rest have been revised, replaced, or updated. Debuting in this edition are eight new ‘‘Mega Essays,’’ authored by renowned specialists and treating such important themes as ‘‘Democracy,’’ ‘‘Economic Development,’’ ‘‘Hispanics in the United States,’’ and ‘‘Race and Ethnicity’’ in articles of up to 10,000 words. This edition has been careful to include Spanish and Portuguese-language sources as much as possible, since the vast bulk of knowledge about the region is produced by Latin Americans themselves. It also includes many more Latin
American authors—about a quarter of the total new contributors—many of whom initially wrote their entries in their respective languages.
Other new features are an extensive chronology that is useful in placing events, processes, and people into their appropriate temporal contexts; a thematic outline of subjects with a separate table of biographical subjects by profession; maps for all Latin American countries; a new and revitalized selection of photos and illustrations; and six full-color photo essays presented as an insert in each volume.
