Understanding Contemporary Latin America FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
Hillman (political science and international studies, St. John Fisher College) presents a textbook designed for undergraduate "Introduction to Latin America" courses. Separate chapters look at geography, politics, the military, economies, international relations, demographics, class and ethnicity, gender, education and development, religion, and literature. The contributors tend to support the dominant U.S. perspective on Latin American problems. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
