Review
--Colonial Latin American Historical Review
"Prof. Jan Knippers Black's updated textbook is the ideal resource for any interdisciplinary survey of Latin America. It's new chapters are especially welcome in the sense that the more current trends in interdisciplinary research on Latin America are brought to the reader's attention clearly and forcefully. The regional comprehensiveness of the book is preserved in the current edition, and its thoughtful division between content areas and country case studies successfully addresses competing visions of how the region should be studied, and its organizational structure provides excellent material for debating and critiquing the pedagogies of Latin American Studies."
--James D. Huck, Tulane University's Stone Center for Latin American Studies
"This provocative textbook offers comprehensive articles on Latin America by some leading experts in the field. They cover all the major issues and countries, including historical background as well as recent events."
--Paul Drake, Dean of Social Sciences, University of California, San Diego
"Will provide undergraduates with a broad understanding of the evolution of the issues and theoretical frameworks that have been at the center of this field of study."
--Journal of Third World Studies
"This is a superb collection of essays on the Latin American reality in the age of globalization. Eminently accessible, timely, and informative, this is an ideal primer for the classroom or simply for those seeking a well-rounded overview of Latin American affairs."
--Will
