Reviews
The authors have written an engaging and insightful history of modern Latin America, one that draws in readers without oversimplifying or stereotyping. They cover the entire region-not reducing the analysis to a few countries-highlighting its diversity, richness, and dilemmas. In addition, they provide enticing vignettes, mini-biographies, and primary sources, while incorporating the most recent bibliography. I look forward to using Latin America in the Modern World in class. -Charles F. Walker, University of California, Davis
Latin America in the Modern World successfully tackles one of the biggest challenges faced by students of Latin American history: how do we make sense of a region that is simultaneously a reality and a fiction? The authors show Latin America as a distinct regional identity even as it was pulled along in the broader currents of global history, and how it remained coherent even as it was splintered by local and national differences.> -Jocelyn Olcott, Duke University
-Elizabeth Hutchison, University of New Mexico
