Latin America: A Concise Interpretive History PDF
Preview Latin America: A Concise Interpretive History
Incorporating the most current data and statistics, this fourth edition brings the history of Latin America up to the mid-1980s. It concentrates new attention on two vital topics: Central America and underdevelopment. The present crises in Central America spring from the region's failure to develop. New sections treat the negative impact of modernization on El Salvador, the growing impoverishment of the Caribbean, the Nicaraguan revolution, and the current instability of Central America.
Discussion of the United States role in Central America is also expanded. Persistent underdevelopment pervades the rest of Latin America as well. This edition explains the connection between rising international debt and the increasing inability of that potentially rich region to feed itself properly.
As a useful guide for students to follow the flow of events, this edition includes for the first time A Chronology of Significant Dates in Latin American History. These revisions provide greater depth and clarity to the major themes that have shaped the Latin American past.
