World Scholar: Latin America & the Caribbean is the first in a series of regional studies products to be released by Gale. It is the result of extensive collaboration among experts representing libraries and the academic world: students, faculty, and researchers at major institutions of learning; a board of advisors drawn from Latin America and the Caribbean, the United States, and elsewhere; numerous libraries that contributed primary-source collections to World Scholar: Latin America & the Caribbean; and Gale's own team of editors, technologists, and content creators.
World Scholar: Latin America & the Caribbean breaks new ground in the publishing world by bringing together in a single place a rich collection of primary source documents about Latin America and the Caribbean; academic journals and news-feeds covering the region; reference articles and commentary; maps and statistics; audio and video; and much more. World Scholar covers topics such as politics, economics, religion, culture, international affairs, the environment, science, and technology. The topics are presented on a country and continent level, offering deep contextualization of the subjects under discussion.
