Compiled in response to the relatively recent growth of international interest in artists of Latin America and the Caribbean, this extremely comprehensive work consists of several sections. The main body is an alphabetical listing of artist biographies. Appendix 1 lists artists by country, Appendix 2 is a chronological record of exhibitions featuring Latin American or Caribbean artists, Appendix 3 is an alphabetical listing of art museums containing works by artists in this book, and Appendix 4 is a list of galleries showing Latin American and Caribbean art. There is an extensive bibliography and two sections of reproductions.

Top Shelf is a weekly column where librarians share some of the top resources they've discovered.
