Description
This text is the successor to Tulchin's "Problems in Latin American History", which was published in the 1970s and has been out of print for ten years. Realising how the field has changed, Professors Chasteen and Tulchin have compiled a work that addresses new topics and issues to serve scholars, students and general readers. The editors have demarcated nine "problems" in modern Latin America. Each of the book's nine chapters, compiled by an expert in the field, begins with an introduction that provides an overview of the "problem" to be examined. This is followed by related selections by both historians and the makers of history.

Description
Problems in Modern Latin American History: A Reader is the long-awaited successor to Joseph S. Tulchin's Problems in Latin American History, which was published more than twenty years ago and has been out of print for ten. Realizing how the field has changed in the past two decades, Professors Chasteen and Tulchin have compiled a work that addresses new topics and issues to serve both faculty and students alike. The authors examine nine problems in modern Latin America-issues that complement most survey texts and create geographical and chronological spans maximizing the book's applicability to various classroom needs. Each of the book's nine chapters, compiled by an expert in the field, begins with an introduction that provides an overview of the problem to be examined.
