Americas: New Interpretive Essays

by Alfred Stepan (Editor)

This volume consists of essays on major themes and issues in modern Latin American history and politics. The first group of essays present an overview of the underlying dynamics of change that have shaped Latin America and the Caribbean since the mid-19th century. Subsequent essays examine topics as diverse as the changing roles of Latin American women, ethnic groups and conflicts in the region, migration, the church and its social activism, the evolution of a Latin American voice in both high and popular culture and the experiences of Latin American and Caribbean peoples in the USA.
