ABSTRACT
This bibliography acknowledges the efforts of authors
in the Hispanic American population. It covers literature by authors
of Cuban, Mexican, and Puerto Rican descent who are or were U.S.
citizens or long-term residents. It is made up of fiction and
non-fiction books drawn from standard reviewing documents and other
sources including online sources. Its purpose is to give users an
idea of the kinds of materials available from Hispanic American
authors. It is not meant to represent all titles or all formats which
relate to the literature by authors of Hispanic American heritage
writing in the United States. Presence of a title in the bibliography
does not imply a recommendation by the Iowa Department of Education.
The non-fiction materials are in the order they might appear in a
library based on the Dewey Decimal Classification systems; the
fiction follows. Each entry gives author if pertinent, title,
publisher if known, and annotation. Other information includes
designations for fiction or easy books; interest level; whether the
book is in print; and designation of heritage of author. (JLB)

cases. We have also included collections of literature and folklore even if collected by persons not
