Problems in Modern Latin American History

by John Charles Chasteen

Problems in Modern Latin American A Reader is the long-awaited successor to Joseph S. Tulchin's Problems in Latin American History, which was published more than twenty years ago and has been out of print for ten. Realizing how the field has changed in the past two decades, Professors Chasteen and Tulchin have compiled a work that addresses new topics and issues to serve both faculty and students alike. The authors examine nine problems in modern Latin America-issues that complement most survey texts and create geographical and chronological spans maximizing the book's applicability to various classroom needs. Each of the book's nine chapters, compiled by an expert in the field, begins with an introduction that provides an overview of the problem to be examined.

Reviews

[Stephanie]

A mix of essays and primary sources for each latin american region. it details each historical period in chronoligical order and presents each history with a reality never presented within normal (american) history courses.

[Emily · Rating 2 out of 5]

A dry, dull book which is really only interesting if you particularly like academic articles on Latin America. However, there did seem to be a good variety of articles chosen.
