Latin American, Caribbean and Latinx Studies

This is a guide to resources in Latin American Studies in the W.E.B. Du Bois Library, University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Other Academic Databases

Latin American Studies can encompass the entire range of science, social science, and humanities disciplines. It's always best to tailor your searches to appropriate databases. The Databases and Collections page is very helpful--if you want to research political science in any way, you could specify that as your subject. The Research Guides by Subject page is also helpful, with pages for history, sociology, anthropology, public health, arts, music, literature, etc.
