The following list of new publications is intended to aid our readers in keeping up with the rapidly
expanding volume of reports, books and documents currently being published. The focus is on Latin
America, though the list also includes references on foreign aid and investment in general and on
the U.S. military, political and economic power structure — all of which we have traditionally covered
in this Report. This is the first such listing to appear in the Report and it includes publications
from the past year. We plan to make this a regular feature of the Report appearing several times
each year.
This is in no way a comprehensive list; rather it reflects the most useful publications sent to us
as review copies by organizations and commercial publishers, as well as titles we have come across in
research and in contacts with movement groups. Should you wish to suggest a publication for listing,
please send a copy (and if possible a brief description,including price) to both NACLA offices (Box
226, Berkeley, CA 94701; and Box 57, Cathedral Stn., NYC. 10025). Also, if you know of titles to be
listed which we may not know about or have omitted, please inform us.
With few exceptions, we have omitted all books mentioned in the recently published Latin America
Review of Books. This 224 page paperback edited by Colin Harding and Christopher Roper is the most
comprehensive review and listing available of recent (last two years) books on Latin American politi-
cal, economic and social issues and we highly recommend it to our readers. (Available for $2.95
plus $2 air mail postage from Latin America Review of Books, Ltd., 84 Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, England.)
Also omitted, with few exceptions, are titles mentioned in past issues of the Report, in NACLA’s
Bibliography on Latin America ($1.25 including postage) and in forthcoming NACLA methodology guides
and source lists on specific areas of interest (to be announced in the Report when available).
