It is commonly believed that the teaching of sociology spread in Latin America only after 1960.  However, sociological textbooks were published before then in response to increasing demand. A comparative analysis is made of eight books, four each from Argentina and Mexico. They are a broad cross- section of those then available for local students and cited in reading lists. Common and divergent topics, traditions, concepts, research methods, theories and cross- references are sought and reasons for the similarities and differences are explored, with special attention to possible US influence. This teaching material is placed in the context of the local institutionalisation of sociology at this period and the history of sociological ideas in the region.
