Notes on Latin American Studies has as MARCH, 1944 157 its main purpose that the publication "will serve to give integration to Latin Ameri- can studies in the humanities and social sciences and provide a medium for con- sideration of problems of teaching and re- search." It is sponsored by the National Research Council, American Council of Learned Societies, and Social Research Council. From the University of California are two new monograph series: Publications in Political Science and Publications in Linguistics. Both are scholarly contribu- tions and of importance to the fields of knowledge concerned. The Southern Weekly is a promising and well-edited publication confining its scope to the common economic and politi- cal interests of the Southern states. O f note is a department "Views of the Southern Press," expressing Southern edi- torial opinion. The Transatlantic, a general monthly magazine about America published in London, contains, with the exception of a column of comment by the London editor Geoffrey Crowther, ma- terial written by Americans about the United States. A m o n g the contributors are W a l t e r Lippmann, Elsworth H u n t - ington, D . W . Brogan, Frederick Lewis Allen, Carl V a n Doren, Ogden Nash, and Carl Carmer. Roscoe Drummond, Washington correspondent of the Chris- tian Science Monitor, will report regu- larly from Washington. Its aim is to promote a better understanding between Great Britain and the United States. Fully illustrated. The American Indian, published by the American Association on Indian Affairs, "is devoted to the interests of the Indians of North America. Its primary purposes are to increase its readers' knowledge of those Indians, to defend their rights from attack, and to increase the desire of American citizens to better their condi- tion." A Monthly Summary of Events and Trends in Race Relations, published for the Julius Rosenwald Fund, is a criti- cal study of the Negro based on direct reports from important centers in the United States. It contains abstracts from newspapers and magazines, Negro and white, from all parts of the country. There are also good book reviews. Literary Periodicals Hemispheres, a new "Little Review" with text in English and French, is edited by Y v a n Goll. T h e first issue contains writings of modern American, English, and French poets and critics prominent in the fields of experimental writing. Emphasis is laid on poetry in its relation to a war-torn world. Contributors of poetry in English are George Barker, Charles Henri Ford, William Carlos Williams, Kenneth Patchen, and Dunstan Thompson; in French are Saint-John Perse, Y v a n Goll, and Alain Bosquet. Parker T y l e r contributes an essay. Liv- ing Poetry, also a "Little Magazine," is devoted exclusively to poetry. In it are found the poems of Thomas Curtis Clark, Gustav Davidson, Glenn W a r d Dresbach, and Clement W o o d . T h e magazine is interested not so much in emphasizing poetic utterances as in expressing the "more subtle absorption [of poetic appre- ciation] into the existence of all human beings." T h e first issue of the Quarterly Review of Literature includes an interest- ing selection of modern international writers. Contributions include poetry of E . E . Cummings and of two South American poets, Profirio Barba Jacob and Jorge Carrera Andrade; fiction by Paul Green; articles by Carlos Garcia-Prada, v 158 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES H . C . Montgomery, and others. Now is an experimental publication from Eng- land. T h i s name was transferred from a "Little Review" started in 1940, but the periodical bears no connection to the earlier publication. T h e new magazine contains literary and social writings and is edited from an anarchistic point of view. T h e book reviews are by Julian Symons. A m o n g recent Latin American publica- tions several are notable. Humanidades is the organ of the graduate students in philosophy and literature at the Univer- sidad de Mexico. T h e format, paper, and printing are good and it contains signed book reviews. El Hijo Prodigo is a new and promising review of distinction with emphasis on literature and art. Unique in its printing and editing it is well illus- trated and attractive in format. Domani is another cultural review published in Buenos Aires by liberal Italian exiles with the text in Italian. It has a pleasing format and is printed on good paper with a few illustrations. Camara del Libro de Chile Boletin is sponsored by the Chilean book trade for the purpose of advertising books printed in Chile. Libraries will find it useful in adding new titles to their collections. In the archeological field, Registro de Cultura Yucateca is devoted to the study of the M a y a n antiquities in Yucatan. Museo Arqueologico de Colom- bia Boletin is a small, illustrated publica- tion on archeological and anthropological findings in Colombia. Lastly, Rivista de la JJniversidad de Puebla is a journal which aims to make known the scientific investigations of both students and pro- fessors of the university. Considerable information is given about the university and its curriculum. :"Periodicals Acta Americana.
