Americas Reviews
"This text is probably the best available because it has Latin American voices in it..."--Ellen Mitchell, Tulane "Makes for a well-grounded, broad based survey and introduction to Latin America. It covers difficult issues and introduces controversial material in a way that confronts students without offending them."--Jeffrey Cohen, Wright State University "An excellent compilation of articles and essays about important events in Latin American history, including perspectives of Latin Americans themselves. It accompanies the Americas film series very nicely!"--Maria Chavez, Western Washington University "Good source book. Includes a diversity of content, authors, time span, and gender issues."--Mike Pisani, Colorado Northwest Community College
