Faces of Latin America

by Duncan Green

Faces of Latin America celebrates the vibrant culture of Latin America's people and looks at some of the key actors in the region's turbulent politics - the military, Indians, grassroots protest groups, guerrillas, the radical Church and the women's movement. The second edition of this best-selling introduction to Latin America has been extensively updated and enlarged, providing an unparalleled portrait of the continent at the end of the millennium. Duncan Green traces the roots of the region's underdevelopment and poverty, with a new chapter on the role of the state, as well as sections on life in the city and the countryside, and Latin America's recent conversion to the free-market economy.

[Julia · Rating 3 out of 5]

More punctuation and spelling errors than I would expect from a 4th edition of a book. Is good, but only focuses on the negative, there are really no nice things that this book is about.
It also needs an update, this is from 2012 and it is super clear that it is out of date in every single section of the book.
