A Turbulent Decade Remembered: Scenes from the Latin American Sixties
by Diana Sorensen
Stanford University Press, 2007
Call Number: PQ 7081 S688 2007 (in New Book Area until 2/15/08)

Sorensen's book studies the sixties, a turning point when Latin America entered the international arena in politics, literature and artistic expression. The book addresses defining events such as the massacre at Tlatelolco in 1968 and the impact of the Cuban Revolution but with a twist. Sorensen prompts the reader to rethink the memorialized events with a more complex reflection than has been presented by her predecessors. This book engages the reader in some very engaging perspectives.
