Críticas

"[A] valuable work of scholarship...most appropriate for social science courses of an advanced nature."--Teaching History "Good complement to the Americas film series and the Smith and Skidmore text."--John T. Deiner, University of Delaware "This series of essays, authored by leaders in their respective fields, brings a historical and multidisciplinary dimension to our understanding of Latin America. Each essay constitutes an authoritative statement in and of itself. Together they form a comprehensive overview of Latin America today. In an era of enhanced hemispheric understanding, they should be required reading for scholars, policy makers, and decision makers."--A.J.R. Russell-Wood, Johns Hopkins University "[An] innovative and stimulating volume!!"--Foreign Affairs
