title: Concise Encyclopedia of Latin American Literature
author: Verity Smith
description: Smith, the editor of the original Encyclopedia of Latin American Literature (LJ 6/1/97), has done an excellent job of creating a more portable, certainly abbreviated, yet very useful and comprehensive desktop version of that 1000-page tome for quick reference. The editor has wisely decided to leave the survey articles on the literature of individual countries and topics in their entirety, and these serve as the backbone of the book. The articles on individual authors have been shortened, yet each entry, written by an expert, is a masterly description and evaluation of the writer's works, rounded out by a biography and a listing of selected works and of resources for further reading. There is also an attempt to cover areas not previously emphasized in other Latin American literature encyclopedias. This includes the work of Hispanic minorities in the United States and of the Francophone Caribbean, which is greatly influenced by the effects of European colonialism. This book belongs on the desk of every scholar of Latin American literature.
