Produktbeschreibung
With case studies of South and Central America, Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, "A Political Geography of Latin America" explains how it is possible to overcome the stereotypes and generalizations about "banana republics," dictatorships and the Latin character. Jonathan Barton exposes the differences between places, regions and countries, individuals and societies, offering an invaluable insight into the themes of political and economic development, and an accessible guide to understanding power and space relations. Barton stresses the need for inclusionary political geography across hemispheres, nation-states, regions, races and ethnic groups, gender and sexuality, and for recognition that it is citizens who wield the power and shape nation-states.
