Review

"This is one of those historical texts in which the author not only revises our understanding of the past, but also shakes up our intellectual certainties in the present . . . this text remains an important and influential one in Latin American studies. A preface to this second edition helps locate the text within the rather abrupt changes over the past decade . . . " -- British Bulletin of Publications on Latin America, April 2000
