References

The following references were sitting on the page, doing nothing in particular. I.e. none of them had been cited. So I'm copying them over here. They should be consulted and used, or deleted. NB the only reference that was being used was in fact an encyclopedia article, which is not a great source. As Researching with Wikipedia puts it: "an encyclopedia is intended to be a starting point for serious research, not an endpoint."

Anyhow, these are the references that need to be used or deleted:

I know some of them are old[er] but I figure - why not? They could have some good reference material and such!

Sources cont'd

Hi guys,

It looks like you have a lot of sources going already. I was thinking that maybe we could expand a little "Major Works" by browsing through Mulata de tal, El Señor presidente, Hombres de maiz, and of course Leyendas de Guatemala. However this might be more reading than we can handle or maybe its not entirely necessary(?). Regardless:

Asturias, Miguel Angel. El Señor presidente. Madrid : Universidad de Salamanca Grupo Santillana de Ediciones, 1995. (not the 1st ed.)

Asturias, Miguel Angel. Hombres de maiz. Buenos Aires : Editorial Losada, 1949.

Asturias, Miguel Angel. Leyendas de Guatemala. Buenos Aires : Editorial Losada, 1957.

Asturias, Miguel Angel. Mulata de tal. Buenos Aires : Editorial Losada, 1963.

It looks like we have a lot to work through! I'll add anything else I find tonight.
