The Handbook Of Hispanic Cultures In The United States PDF Download

Annotation The Handbook of Hispanic Culture in the United States is a four- volume comprehensive reference, largely written by US Hispanics, that explores four major areas: history, anthropology, sociology, and literature and art. The present volume, confronting a serious deficiency in American historiography--namely the Anglocentrism of US history--is divided into four parts: Spain and the New World; on the early history of the United States; Hispanic tradition in historical perspective; and the recent past. Illustrated. Promises to be an essential reference set, combining careful scholarship with broad accessibility. Published by Arte Publico Press, Univ. of Houston, Houston, TX 77204-2090.
