?An indispensable work for any collection on Latin America,
Greefield and Maram, both professional Latin American historians,
have performed a remarkable service for scholars, journalists,
students, and the interested lay public. . . The focus of the
individual chapters is on labor organizations, and the information
assembled on the various unions, cooperatives, sindicatos, and
mutual aid societies is invaluable. Some chapters (e.g. those on El
Salvador and Peru) are exceedingly, and helpfully, detailed. Others
provide the bare outlines and details of the labor movement's
history and structure. There are appendixes on international labor
organizations; a country-by-country Glossary of Terms, People, and
Events. The index, itself 98 pages, makes the book even more
valuable for the casual or serious researcher. As a resource tool,
this volume cannot be too highly recommended.?-Choice
