New from Adam Matthew: Confidential Print: Latin America, 1833-1969

We recently added another eResource from Adam Matthew Digital to our collections: Confidential Print: Latin America, 1833-1969

The documents of Confidential Print: Latin America cover the whole of South and Central America, plus the non-British islands of the Caribbean, from just after the final Spanish withdrawal from mainland America in the 1820s to the height of the Cold War in the 1960s. Covering revolutions, territorial changes and political movements, foreign financial interests, industrial and infrastructural development (including the building of the Panama Canal), wars, slavery, immigration from Europe and relations with indigenous peoples, amongst other topics, the files in this title are designed for any scholar of Latin American history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
