University Students Have Been a Highly Visible Participant in Latin American politics for many years. To cite a few examples, they played an important role in the overthrow of the regimes in Cuba (1933, 1959), Guatemala (1944), Venezuela (1958), and Bolivia (1964), and have led significant anti-government demonstrations in nearly every Latin American country at one time or another. No government in the region can afford to disregard students as a political group.

This bibliography is limited to publications which have appeared in the last ten years, with one or two exceptions. This period was chosen for two reasons: to keep the subject within manageable limits and because most of the scholarly work on the subject has appeared since 1959. This limitation, of course, excludes some useful earlier studies, particularly those by Latin American authors dealing with the Reform Movement. Gabriel del Mazo's multi-volume works, all entitled La Reforma Universitaria (Buenos Aires, 1926-1927; La Plata, 1941), are good examples.Google Scholar
It should also be reiterated here that the bibliography deals only with university students, which, for example, resulted in exclusion of some of Daniel Goldrich's work based on secondary schools. In addition, works which deal primarily with structural, organizational or financial problems of universities have generally not been included.Google Scholar
In compiling this list, the standard bibliographic guides for both English and Spanish publications were consulted, in addition to numerous other sources. In some cases, works which were essentially polemical or of very narrow interest were not included.Google Scholar
