Starting with its eighth edition in fall 2020, the textbook Hoja de ruta, Cultura y Civilización de Latinoamérica gets a new format and becomes Hoja de ruta, cartografía de América Latina, an e-book, Kindle Edition, distributed by Amazon. This new format features 6 individual "Unidades Temáticas" designed to give a comprehensive view of the historical, political, socioeconomic, and cultural aspects of Latin America with a prominent focus on the present times including the impact of COVID-19 on the Economy and the human rights. The fact that these units are published individually allows professors the flexibility of selecting the ones that they would like to develop their course on Culture and Civilization or choose one or several to complement particular courses on Latin American Women or LGBTIQI+ issues, Art, Music and Literature, Economy, Human Rights, the Hispanic population in the US, or the history of Latin America from pre-Columbian times to the Independence. Nota: la 7 edición, en papel, no estará más disponible. Environmentally friendly, joining the campaign against global warming, Hoja de ruta, cartografía de América Latina only comes as e-books which in these challenging times when schools had to move to online teaching becomes an asset, as it is the advantage in price of the digital publications. Each unit opens with a quote by a prominent Latin American writer to open up the discussion of the subject developed, followed by the unit itself and questions and essay prompts to use as guide for class discussion or written assignments.
