Welcome!

This guide points to resources for research on Mexico in a wide range of disciplines including Anthropology and Archaeology, Art and Art History, History, Political-Economy, Geography, International Affairs, Linguistics, Literature, Music, Religion, and Sociology.

It is intended for students and researchers in Latin American Studies of all levels. It lists general resources related to Latin American Studies, including books, journals, and online resources available at UCSD and within the broader UC Library System.

Use the tabs to navigate this guide, and be sure to scroll down to see the content on each page.  

Click on the tab "Beginning Your Research on Mexico at UCSD" to identify key, specialized resources which provide excellent starting points for many topics on Mexico.  Please also email me if you have additional research questions, would like to set up a research consultation, or have other suggested resources to include in this guide.

For learning or practicing Spanish, Mango Languages, offered via the UCSD LInguistics Department is a great online resource.
