Bibliography

This is a basic bibliography of sources on Latin American Cinema for Latin American History at the Movies which are available in the library. Many more items are also available in Siegmund’s bibliography (http://www.libs.uga.edu/lais/laisno7.html). Sometimes the Internet Movie Database (http://www.imdb.com/) includes useful information. The Encyclopedia of Latin American History and Culture (Ref F1406 .E53 2008) and the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Latin American and Caribbean Cultures (Ref F1406 .E515 2000) include good background information on the topics discussed in the films we will watch in class. Use Latin American-specific databases such as the following to search for more information on your film and the historical events depicted in it.
