Free Downloads Problems In Modern Latin American History: Sources And Interpretations (Latin American Silhouettes)
Now in its fourth edition, this leading reader has been updated with the aim of tightening the focus of each chapter on a major interpretive problem. This edition includes an entirely new chapter, “Historical Memory,” which allows readers to revisit the era of the Cold War from a contemporary perspective, and the chapters on nationalism and globalization have been thoroughly revised. The book continues to offer a rich variety of materials that can be tailored to the needs of individual instructors. The reader’s unique and successful chapter organization provides a thematic complement to narrative accounts of modern Latin American history. By focusing each chapter on a single concept or interpretive problem—such as nationalism, women’s rights, or social revolution—the text engages students in the analysis of historical sources and, at the same time, introduces them to the twists and turns of historiography. Each chapter in this new edition includes at least two primary sources. With its innovative combination of primary and secondary sources and editorial analysis, this text is designed specifically to stimulate critical thinking in a wide range of courses on Latin American history since independence.

This should be mandatory for anyone born in the Americas especially United States. As a black man, I found it extremely fascinating to see the incredibly beautiful and tragic side of the history of Latin America and how the country I live in has rarely helped its neighbors to thrive. I can't help but think to myself, how can you even have any opinion on US-Latin American relations if you have not read this book?? It's absolutely essential. Everything else is just what the US government propaganda machine wants you to believe about our Latin American neighbors. At least we finally reopened our embassy in Cuba. That's the least we can do and my prayer is that Mercosur will be as strong as the EU to really provide a counterbalance to the overpowered United States.My only request to the author is this: Can you please make a book like this for Africa, too? Its modern history has not been summarized like this yet.
I appreciate the perspective from different historians and experiences of the people. It is at times difficult to read but nonetheless it is very enlightening.
Book was practically brand new. Definitely helped with my online class.
Great easy to understand and helpful book
Good book! Would highly recommend it
