Latin American Indigenous Studies, Languages and Literature: Finding Book Reviews

Book reviews, ranging from simple summaries to in-depth critical analyses and evaluations, provide useful information for readers and researchers. Read book reviews to:

• Find out what others have said about the book
• Identify controversies about the book
• Find out how the book relates to other works
• Find out what’s being published in your field of interest
• Easily identify new books for future reading (or books to avoid!)

The databases listed below will help you find reviews published in scholarly journals, popular magazines, and newspapers. In general, search for book reviews in article databases using the “advanced search” mode and limit by publication type to “book review” or “review.”
