The Schlager Anthology of Hispanic America offers a modern, original sourcebook covering Hispanic American history from the 1100s to the present day. Modeled after the award-winning Schlager Anthology of Black America, this 2-volume set traces the history of Hispanic America through 150 critical primary documents: speeches, letters, court cases, interviews, government reports, and visual images.

Inclusive and accessible to a wide range of researchers, The Schlager Anthology of Hispanic America is an essential reference for academic, high school, and public libraries.
