Edition DescriptionNew Edition
SynopsisA newly updated edition of the best-selling primer on the social, political, and economic challenges facing Central and South America Ten years after its first publication, Michael Reid's best-selling survey of the state of contemporary Latin America has been wholly updated to reflect the new realities of the "Forgotten Continent." The former Americas editor for the Economist , Reid suggests that much of Central and South America, though less poor, less unequal, and better educated than before, faces harder economic times now that the commodities boom of the 2000s is over. His revised, in-depth account of the region reveals dynamic societies more concerned about corruption and climate change, the uncertainties of a Donald Trump-led United States, and a political cycle that, in many cases, is turning from left-wing populism to center-right governments. This essential new edition provides important insights into the sweeping changes that have occurred in Latin America in recent years and indicates priorities for the future., What is at stake in the Latin America of today? In the post-Chávezera, few of the region's countries are now dictatorships while many are marred by corruption. What happened to the great experiment with capitalist democracy? In this fully revised and updated edition of his bestselling history, Michael Reid considers the continent's historic struggles for development and its current efforts to cater to a more educated and demanding populace, Looking at the new challenges it faces - President Trump, a powerful China and a cloistered Europe -Reid provides fresh insight into how Latin America might achieve its goals of economic prosperity, democratic stability and social equality.
