Latin American Review of Books - Latamrob www.latamrob.com We review fine writing about and from Latin America and the Caribbean

Founded in 2005, this independent online review site assesses books about and from Latin America and the Caribbean across all subject areas - from art to politics and the environment. We are small, but perfectly formed - and take a keen interest in non-fiction and academic titles in particular. We are based in the UK but actively seek Latin American, Caribbean and US readers: that's the beauty of

the internet, after all. We would also encourage Latinos and US Hispanics to read our site and to send us books that they have written. We take a progressive position on most issues - but are not table-thumping ideologues and welcome alternative perspectives, providing they are thoughtfully put and sensibly argued.
