I\ INTRODUCTION TO LATIN'AMERICA , MANUAL FOR AN INTiRISCIPLINA Y COURSE 01. ° \-- 1 , PREFACE Y ' The purpose of this Manual ii to provide. infaination on reading that would be_relevant and useful in an introductory course on Latin,America, a course which would-ex'pose,the person'taking'it to the broadest possible range,of subject matter needed to. provide him with the basis' for knowledge and understanding-of the aria and its p:eople. The course would be-Agiven primarily for those who know Tittle or nothing of I,atin America--except for the all-to7frequent distortions of the news inedia-- ,but who wish to know better its many and diverse' aspects. It should also be interestingsfo people who have learned something about some parts of the regi,on, even perhaps by Giving there for a time, but who wish to broaden.their backgr and knowledge of Latin America and the Latin niericans they have encountered:, . Attributes that have seemedo me ost likely to be helpful to the pursuit of s ch 1 arning are the following: that the readings be general-and. at the same time meaningful: enough toexcite the curiosity orone,approaching,the study of Latin- America for the first time; that the variety of *fields of knowledge presented be as comprehensive as feasible for a one-semester course;that traditional disciplinary lines be ap crissr crossed and mixed up as they are in real life; and that'there be a determined effort tri insure, presentation of diverse poihts of view toward the subject matter, particularly in the political, social and economic areas. , I, The finished product of my research for this projec't, which was unde;takeri under:a contract between the University of Wisconsin-EauClaire and - r- : + the,-Officeof'Education'Of the Departitent of 6 ' 1,40;, Health, Education and Welfare, is a bibliography - of selected readings fOr an introductory,, inter:.
