Modern Latin America

Featuring stimulating, anecdotal boxes, Modern Latin America uses case studies to discuss the primary countries and patterns of development in the region over the past 200 years. The authors examine such central themes as the Iberian-New World interaction, racial prejudices and policy, economic strategies, military developments, and U.S. interventionism in Latin America.
