Impacto de la investigacion del arroz en Latinoamerica y el Caribe durante las tres ultimas decadas

"Fills an important gap in the field. Intelligently conceived work gathers for the first time the key texts on revolution in Spanish America. Can be used as a reference book or as a textbook for courses on Spanish American literature and culture. Includes texts from Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

PANORAMA DE LAS AMÉRICAS is designed for use in the first months of beginning Spanish courses and beyond. Initially, only very basic vocabulary and the present tense are used. A special effort has been made to grade the readings so that they progress from the simple and basic to the more complex. To stimulate interest in Latin American literature, the authors have included selections from some of their best writers in Temas de investigación sections found in lessons 10 through 25. These selections give a firsthand view of Latin American life.
