The Movement toward Latin American Unity
By Ronald HiltonIntegrating Latin America economically, politically, culturally, or in any other way evidently borders on the impossible. Integrating forty papers ranging from engineering studies to reports on the status of medical libraries in Latin America into one meaningful volume is no small task either, as Ronald Hilton can no doubt attest.
The volume under review is an outgrowth of a conference on Latin American integration (especially economic integration) convened in Palo Alto, California, by the California Institute of International Studies during 1968. It is divided into eight parts under the headings of Historical Background, General Problems, Economics and Banking, Industry, Law and Politics, Communications, Science and Culture, and Regional Studies. Predictably, the papers are of very uneven quality; several are excellent by any test, most are at least informative, but a few, to put it charitably, should have been deleted had it been politically possible to do so. Nonetheless, the book as a whole is enlightening and useful and offers a little something in the way of facts, analysis, or opinion for nearly anyone with an interest in Latin America.
