About this product

Product Information

Authoritative yet accessible, the four-volume Encyclopedia of Latin America covers the history and culture of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean from early settlements to the present day. Each volume focuses on a specific time period in the area's development. The first volume explores prehistory through the achievements of the Incas in the 16th century, and the second volume covers the arrival of the Spanish, colonization, and independence movements until the 1820s. Volume III examines Latin America's search for its own identity from the middle of the 19th century to the start of the 20th, and the fourth volume focuses on Latin America as it asserts itself in international politics, experiences the effects of globalization, and becomes an influential area worldwide, from the 20th century through the present day. Volumes offer in-depth, heavily cross-referenced A-to-Z entries, drawing readers into the histories of ancient civilizations, colonization, celebrated independence leaders, national and regional political debates, and the daily lives and achievements of the many peoples who have occupied the area. Each volume begins with an introduction to the time period, followed by a detailed chronology. A collection of primary source documents at the end of each volume gives a firsthand account of the major developments of the era. A glossary, bibliography, and index in each volume, a cumulative index in Volume IV , and 250 black-and-white images and maps round out this attractive and reliable resource on Latin America. Entries include: Volume I: Amerindians through Foreign Colonization (Prehistory to 1560) Amazon women Clovis culture Christopher Columbus Copán Dyes and dyewoods Huayna Cápac Maize Maya Pirates and piracy Pulque Treaty of Tordesillas Zapotecs. Volume II: From Colonies to Independent Nations (1550s to 1820s) Acapulco Simón Bolívar Cattle Creole Fleets/fleet system Independence of Spanish South America War of Jenkins' Ear Juntas Pueblo Revolt José de San Martín Veracruz.
