Oxford bibliographies are brief essays and reading recommendations (i.e. bibliographies) from high level researchers.

Each article includes an introduction by a Latin American scholar and includes recommendations on the best works available – whether it is a chapter, a book, a journal article, a website, an archive, or data set – to streamline the research process.
