J. Fred Rippy, in his book "Historical Evolution of Hispanic America," has tried the experiment of treating Latin American history as a unit, dividing it into three main topical divisions, colonial, national, and international relations. While he handles the literary, intellectual, and artistic movements relatively lightly, he devotes considerable attention to social and economic as well as to political movements. F.A. Kirkpatrick's history of Argentina in "A History of Argentine Republic," is a different sort of book-in two ways. It is an outgrowth of the effort of the British to make closer cultural, economic, and political contacts with a country in which they have some $2,500,000,000 invested; and it places more emphasis upon the literature and life of the people. Frank Tannenbaum's "Whiter Latin America?," is a brief compilation, but useful, of the leading facts regarding population, industrial development, finance, trade, transportation, education, labor, and agriculture in Latin America. It is just such a collection of facts as a "tired" business man or a ladies' club speaker might wish to master in an evening's pleasant reading.
