Binghamton University has just subscribed to the Chicano Database, the premier database of Latino/a Studies. Despite its misleading title, the Chicano Database includes citations about all Latino populations in the U.S., including Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexican-Americans, Cuban Americans, and Central American immigrants.
The database includes nearly 60,000 citations, including book chapters, journal articles, newspaper articles, and books. Coverage of Chicanos goes back to citations from 1960, while other Latino populations have been indexed since 1992.
Citations focus on nearly every aspect of Latino life and draw from a number of different disciplines including arts, economics, education, folklore, gender studies, health, history, labor, law, mental health, poetry, politics, and sociology.
