Building upon the work of original author E. Bradford Burns, current author Julie Charlip presents Latin American history as a continuum to help readers make connections among time periods and events, and see the impact of the past upon the present. A new closing chapter examines in detail the "Pink Tide"-the swing left in Latin America that began at the end of the twentieth century and has continued over the last 15 years. Key Topics Land and People; From Conquest to Empire; Independence; New Nations; The Emergence of the Modern State; New Actors on an Old Stage; The Mexican Explosion; From World Wars to Cold War; The Revolutionary Option; Debt and Dictatorship; The Limits of Liberalism; Forward into the Past?
