Understanding Contemporary Latin America by Richard S Hillman
This new edition of Understanding Contemporary Latin America has been thoroughly revised to reflect the many significant events and trends of the past six years.

The result is an indispensable introduction, both descriptive and analytical, to the complexities of contemporary Latin America.
