History of Modern Latin America: 1800 to the Present 2nd edition [Minkštas viršelis]

Not only does Teresa Meades book do justice to the crucial political and economic trends in Latin America since independence, but it does so in a very readable and accessible fashion. Students enjoy reading this book and are drawn into the historical narrative from many angles, including the accounts of individual men and women, portraits of figures in popular culture, and discussions of environmental challenges. This new edition retains all the virtues of the first, while offering more images, updated lists of recommended readings, and study questions at the end of each chapter. – Barbara Weinstein, Silver Professor History, New York University

"Teresa Meade uses broad themes like class, gender, and ethnicity to make connections to cultural and political events. This new edition of A History of Modern Latin America challenges students to think critically about the past while providing innovative perspectives on the region." Jeffrey Lesser, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of History, Emory University

An ideal textbook in how it balances well a coherent narrative thread that ties together the modern history in the region with case studies of both individual countries and broader theoretical themes. Joel Wolfe, University of Massachusetts Amherst
