Media Reviews
Praise for previous editions: Without question the best survey text of Latin American history--either colonial or national period--that has ever been written. --James Schofield Saeger, Lehigh University
Expanded coverage of colonial social hierarchies and the family, along with a well-integrated and sensitive focus on gender, complement the lively treatment of economics, politics and popular culture that distinguished earlier editions. The fifth edition thus continues to be a mandatory read for
undergraduate students and anyone interested in the story of how Spanish and Portuguese rule transformed the region. --Bianca Premo, Emory University
The most comprehensive introduction to Latin American history. . . .No other text available is as thorough in its approach to the three centuries of development within two distinct and separate empires. --Christon I. Archer, University of Calgary
A well-written, engaging text that does a fine job of linking individual experience to broader themes and analysis. . . . The book keeps getting better and better. --Ward Stavig, University of South Florida
