Americas by Stepan

Beginning with an overview of Latin America and the Caribbean since the mid-nineteenth century, the text examines 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, high and popular culture, and the experiences of Latin Americans in the United States.

"[A] valuable work of scholarship..most appropriate for social science courses of an advanced nature."--Teaching History "Good complement to the Americas film series and the Smith and Skidmore text."--John T. Deiner, University of Delaware "This series of essays, authored by leaders in their respective fields, brings a historical and multidisciplinary dimension to our understanding of Latin America. Each essay constitutes an authoritative statement in and of itself. Together they form a comprehensive overview of Latin America today. In an era of enhanced hemispheric understanding, they should be required reading for scholars, policy makers, and decision makers."--A.J.R. Russell-Wood, Johns Hopkins University "[An] innovative and stimulating volume!!"--Foreign Affairs
