Great history begins with reading. First issued in the early twentieth century, Hayward Keniston's List of works for the study of Hispanic-American history gathers, in one authoritative hispanic-american history bibliography, the essential books that opened up the past of Latin America to modern scholarship. From the Spanish empire in the Americas and colonial Latin America history to the struggles of Spanish American independence history, Keniston signposts the classic studies, standard references and indispensable spanish language historical sources that shaped generations of latin american history reference and research. More than a bare catalogue, this historical research reading list serves as a practical historians and librarians guide and an invaluable college history students resource, especially for those entering spanish colonial America studies or exploring the evolution of latin american historiography sources. It stands as a foundational latin american studies bibliography, reflecting a moment when the field itself was taking shape and preserving the core works on which later interpretations were built. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For curious readers, researchers and classic-book enthusiasts, Keniston's quiet scholarship offers both a map of past scholarship and a finely crafted cultural artefact for the shelves.
