She is also affiliated with the Latin American Studies and the Women's Studies programs. She has published frequently on Central American Literature and Latin American Women Writers. She is the author of Women as Outsiders: Undercurrents of Oppression in Latin American Women's Novels (1993).
Each volume has enough topics and in-depth information that any
social studies class doing comparative cultures and history will
find very useful information here beyond what is in a general
encyclopedia or what they can find on that country's Web
site….Since the series concentrates on many third world countries
and the authors are very knowledgable, we find the series valuable
for hard-to-find, in-depth and current cultural information.
Recommended.
