Rezensionen

"Should appeal to academics who are looking for a textbook that is more cultural than Blouet and Blouet's and more unfied than Hillman's." - Jennifer French, Williams College

"User-friendly ... stands well as an introduction to [Latin American Studies]." - Gary Prevost, St. John's University

"A good introductory text for courses on society and culture in Latin America at the undergraduate level." - Juliet Hooker, University of Texas at Austin
