Reviews
"One of the main strengths in this proposal is its thematic organization. I like the idea of putting a the basic historical narrative up front and then exploring different themes, and the book hits what I see as some of the most important themesEL I would be pretty likely to adopt it on an experimental basis as long as it has a strong, lively written narrative running through it that would help to keep my students' attention." -Nancy P. Appelbaum, SUNY at Albany"The book looks exciting. I cannot guarantee I would use it since it stresses a political science approach while I use a more historical approach. However, I would consider it as part of a mix of texts. It seems to offer a good balance of simplicity and depth. I particularly like its coverage of issues such as gender and religion alongside political economy and US-Latin American relations. This looks like a thorough introduction to Latin AmericaEL Thislooks like an exciting and thorough introduction to Latin America. I would certainly consider using it." -Sujay Rao, Gustavus Adolphus College"I would use the proposed text as a main text in all of the Latin American courses that I teach (PSC 405N, 407E, etc.). Given my experiences with Vanden and Prevost's politics book, I would think that students would respond very well to the proposed textEL The outline for the proposed text is well organized around a number of common themes that are typically covered in an introductory class. The chapters on gender, religion and political economy areappropriately multidisciplinaryEL I support this book proposal. The book is likely to be supported by strong research and scholarship. Based upon the proposed table of contents, it will cover many importantthemes - but the coverage and analysis will be done in a way that is theoretically consistent and coherent." -John Tuman, University of Nevada at Las Vegas"I found the writing to be straight forward and dynamic, which I think is critical to engaging students in texts. The use of contemporary examples is important in a subject for which new undergraduate material is hard to come byEL Again, I like the contemporary feel of the textEL I would consider using this book if it was available. If it appears as presented, on a scale of one to ten, I would give it a ten." -Lisa Lundt, University of Nevada at Las Vegas

Synopsis
Latin America: An Introduction offers a contemporary, thematic analysis of the region that is grounded in Latin America's social, political, economic, and cultural past. Based on chapters from Harry Vanden and Gary Prevost's popular text, Politics of Latin America , this book provides an accessible and interesting discussion of a broad range of topics, including democracy, revolution, indigenous populations, culture, gender, religion, politics, economy, and relations with the United States. Unlike many texts on the region, this book places the voices of long-ignored and previously marginalized groups in Latin America--women, indigenous peoples, Afro-Latinos, workers, peasants, and gays and lesbians--at the heart of its analysis. Offering balanced regional coverage, the book discusses such recent political, social, and economic developments as the failure of the neoliberal economic policies of the 1980s and 1990s to deliver promised prosperity; the related resurgence of progressive politics in the region, as manifested in the election of numerous left and center-left governments; and the strong role of numerous social movements in setting the region's political agenda in the new century. The authors analyze the continuing power of the United States in the region, as seen in the implementation of the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), bilateral trade agreements with Chile and Peru, and the continued funding of Plan Colombia. They also discuss the role of various Latin American-based initiatives, including the expansion of MERCOSUR, the Bolivarian Alternative, and The Bank of the South. Providing a historical perspective for the challenges and problems facing the region today, Latin America: An Introduction 's regionally balanced, multidisciplinary approach makes it an ideal text for introduction to Latin American studies courses., Latin America: An Introduction offers a contemporary, thematic analysis of the region that is grounded in Latin America's social, political, economic, and cultural past.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
