Education in Latin America: A Bibliography, with 9,866 entries, resulted from UCLA’s interdisciplinary project to study informal alternatives to traditional education in Latin America. Funded in part by the Agency for International Development, and coordinated by Thomas La Belle, Johannes Wilbert, and James Wilkie, the project intended to stimulate research, to develop new curricular approaches and expand UCLA’s graduate studies program, and to improve library sources in the field of education.
Designed as an introductory reference volume for research on education in Latin America and the Caribbean from pre-Columbian times to the mid-1970s, this bibliography includes materials for each country, classified by type (serial publication, bibliography, law) and subject category (education in general, in-school education, out-of-school education, and educational planning and administration). A thorough index includes both individual and institutional entries.
This is a valuable reference tool, one that university libraries should not be without.
