Where can recent chronologies of latin american events?

May 26, 2017 11:18 AM

This is sort of two questions: Is there a resource that lists books published in the last four years with chronologies and timelines of Latin American and Caribbean history (which do not need to be about recent events, just about the subjects from 1491 to today)? Second, is there a directory anywhere of chronologies and timelines about recent events in Latin America and the Caribbean (e.g., the puerto rico debt crisis from colonialism to 2017)? Anyone who could point me to such things would be greatly appreciated.

Best answer: For a list of books, you can try:

Worldcat.org, which has books that you can find by subject heading, so this one: Latin America -- History -- Chronology might fit. You can sort by date (upper right hand corner) to get you the latest books.

Google Books: Latin American history chronology, if you go to Tools at the upper right corner, you can sort by date, but I found that relevancy goes down quite a bit if you do that.

As for the second question, this looks like it may fit: Modern Latin America hosted by Brown University Library , each chapter begins with a timeline of events.
