Description

North Americans know that their “New World” is only a part of what Columbus came upon in 1492. On this 4-vol. set, in appealing form, is the tale of the opposite Americas — the borderlands of Old (and New) Mexico, Central The usa, the Caribbean, and South The usa. Derived from Scribner’s “Encyclopedia of Latin American History and Culture,” yet enriched with new art and current events, this set introduces students to a world as familiar as Christopher Columbus and our Latino heritage, as foreign as the jungles of the Amazon and ancient citadel of Machu Picchu. Here are the wonderful thing about Haitian folk art and the beat of Brazil’s bossa nova-along side the brutality of Salvadoran death squads and Argentine “disappearances.” In A-Z format, 749 articles are complemented by 60 color and more than 200 black-and-white pictures and maps. Boxed special features, topical and general chronologies, and marginal definitions are one of the most aids that make this set appropriate for each and every school and public library.
