This edition of "Historia de la Cultura en la América Hispánica" by Pedro Henríquez Ureña offers a comprehensive overview of Hispanic American culture, focusing on the historical, political, social, and artistic developments from the Conquest to modern times. Published by Fondo de Cultura Económica (FCE) in 1959 as part of the Colección Popular series, this fourth edition provides an accessible yet detailed panorama of the cultural heritage of Latin America, written in Spanish.

Ideal for collectors, historians, and enthusiasts of Latin American studies, this edition was printed and made in Mexico and reflects the author's firm belief in the continuity and significance of Hispanic culture. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in literature, philosophy, art, and the socio-political evolution within the continent. The cover design is a distinctive abstract art piece, typical of mid-20th century editions from Fondo de Cultura Económica.
