The concept of bibliodiversity is frequently applied to Latin America, reflecting the breadth of publishing in the region, from mainstream sectors of transnational publishing conglomerates and academic publishing, to innovation in open access, to growing communities of independent publishers. That bibliodiversity, however, is not fully represented in US libraries, despite independent presses producing some of the most interesting work in the Latin American printed word. As collection development practices become streamlined in the US, depth and nuance is sacrificed for ease of acquisition and predictable choices, ignoring marginalized perspectives and emerging talent.
This collection presents US librarians with a sampling of the spectrum of Latin American independent publishing and its role in library collections. The collection includes essays from librarians, publishers, scholars, and writers, including scholarly studies, publisher manifestos, and personal reflections from writers and publishers about their commitments to independent publishing. Librarians will find studies of the role independent publishing plays in representing marginalized voices in university collections and teaching, descriptions of the circuits through which independent publications circulate and publishing models Latin American independent publishers pursue, and reflections from participants on why they publish and distribute their works outside of established multinational and corporate networks.
