"A landmark event to be celebrated by all readers interested in any aspect of the history, culture and society of Latin America... The two volumes now in hand show a remarkable consistency of editorial craftmanship and cohesiveness, to say nothing of a very high level of scholarly achievement... A giant step forward." Canadian Journal of History "The Cambridge History of Latin America is a large-scale authoritative study of Latin America's unique historical experience. This is a major work of collaborative international scholarship and an event to be celebrated...After having perused volume II of the series, this reviewer can only look forward eagerly to the appearance of the remaining volumes." Solomon Lipp, Revista Canadiense de Estudios Hispanicos
