Mexico, Central, and South America: New Perspectives

With the fall of the Soviet Union and the acceleration of global economic, political, and social pressures, Mexico, Central, and South America have undergone vast transformations. This collection details these changes and updates the scholarship on a region once defined by the cold war and now struggling to define itself within the era of economic globalization and democratization. Rapid changes in the area have produced new and contentious scholarship, the best of which is contained in this new five-volume set. Collected by one of the premiere authorities on the region, each volume contains a valuable introduction and considers a key discipline of study. Together the volumes provide a comprehensive view, which will prove an indispensable research tool for students and scholars alike.

This collection reprints in facsimile the most influential scholarship published in this field during the time of its most intensive growth--the last decade of the twentieth century.Available as single volumes or as a set:* Vol. 1: Economics350 pp*[ 0-8153-3693-4]* Vol. 2: Regimes350 pp*[0-8153-3694-2]* Vol. 3: Social Movements 350 pp*[0-8153-3695-0]* Vol. 4: Political Parties350 pp*[0-8153-3696-9]* Vol. 5: Race and Ethnicity350 pp*[0-8153-3697-7]
