In the absence of a general analysis, except for the relevant chapters of Nicolás Sánchez-Albornoz, The Population of Latin America: A History (Berkeley, 1974); 2nd Spanish ed., Lapoblación de América Latina: Desde los tiempos precolombinos al ano 2000 (Madrid, 1977), the reader should follow the development of the population of Latin America in the period from 1870 to 1930 in books and articles on the individual countries. For Argentina, CELADE (Centro Latinoamericano de Demografía), Temas de población de la Argentina: Aspectos demográficos (Santiago, Chile, 1973) and Zulma Recchini de Lattes and Alfredo E. Lattes (eds.), La población de Argentina (Buenos Aires, 1975) have compiled parallel studies which provide an overall view of the principal demographic variables since 1889. La población de Cuba (Havana, 1976) was conceived in the same way, but is not backed up by such detailed previous research. For Brazil, T. W. Merrick and D. H. Graham, Population and Economic Development in Brazil: 1800 to the Present (Baltimore, 1979) attempts to achieve a balance between chronological presentation and a diachronic discussion of themes. The Centro de Estudios de Población y Desarrollo in Lima has, for its part, made a notable attempt at historical reconstruction in its Informe demográfico del Perú: 1970 (Lima, 1972). However, there was not one single census report in Peru between 1876 and 1940, which means that the study can only be of limited use. On Mexico the two volumes by Moisés González Navarro, Población y sociedad en México (1900–1970) (Mexico, D.F., 1974), although amply documented, lack the analytical technique used by demographers in the other books already mentioned. On Uruguay, see J. Rial, Población y desarrollo de un pequeno país: Uruguay 1850–1930 (Montevideo, 1983).
