This new edition of Understanding Contemporary Latin America has been thoroughly revised to reflect the many significant events and trends of the past six years.
The book includes entirely new chapters on economics and religion, as well as extensively updated material on politics, the military, international relations, environmental issues, nationalism, the role of women, and more. The result is an indispensable introduction, both descriptive and analytical, to the complexities of contemporary Latin America.
