Synopsis :

The central theme of the text is Latin America's economic dependency on European powers and the United States, and its struggle for liberation from dependency and its consequences: social decline, mass poverty, and corrupt, arbitrary governments. This classic text has long been a staple in Latin American history courses, now in the eighth edition it has been thoroughly revised and given a fresher presentation for a new generation of students and professors.
