PRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITION:
“The text moves well and builds over time, paying close attention to balancing both the Caribbean and Latin America as geographic regions, Spanish and non-Spanish speaking countries, and historical and contemporary issues in the field. I found the geographic breadth to be especially impressive.”
Cymene Howe, Cornell University, USA
“I applaud the author on a holistic approach to the study of Latin America. The various features introduce students to the complexity of this topic and its relevance in their studies.”
Marjorie Snipes, State University of West Georgia, USA
“I am particularly impressed with the excellent synthesis of materials, concepts and examples from Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean”
Anne Woodrick, University of Northern Iowa, USA
