Latin America in the Modern World is the first text to situate the history of Latin America within a wider global narrative. Written by leading scholars, the book focuses on five themes: state formation; the construction of national identity through popular culture and religion; economics and commodities; race, class, and gender; and the environment. Emphasizing the distinct experiences of each of the Latin American countries, the book provides students with an entry point into understanding this vital region. Instead of suggesting that all Latin American nations have an interchangeable heritage, the authors seek to clearly identify themes, topics, people, and intellectual currents that help to knit the history of modern Latin America into a coherent category of study. While providing in-depth coverage of the history of the three largest Latin American countries (Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina), Latin America in the Modern World also offers case studies from almost all of thecountries, including Central American and Andean nations.Available to Instructors and Students* A companion sourcebook, Sources for Latin America in the Modern World, edited by Nicola Foote of Florida Gulf Coast University, that matches the organization of Latin America in the Modern World* A companion website that includes quizzes, flashcards, and chapter summaries* An image bank of Power Point slides
