This best-selling text for introductory Latin American history courses, A History of Latin America, encompasses political and diplomatic theory, class structure and economic organization, culture and religion, and the environment. The integrating framework is the dependency theory, the most popular interpretation of Latin American history, which stresses the economic relationship of Latin American nations to wealthier nations, particularly the United States.Spanning pre-historic times to the present, A History of Latin America uses both a chronological and a nation-by-nation approach, and includes the most recent historical analysis and the most up-to-date research. This is the most streamlined and cohesive edition yet, with substantial additions to pedagogy and chapter content. Expanded coverage of social and cultural history includes women, indigenous cultures, and Afro-Latino peoples.

Pages Ripped Out
I just received my textbook and I noticed there are pages ripped out (pages 97-102) when it was advertised as in good condition with all of the pages in tact. Everything else is fine, not a lot of wear and tear. Just a little annoyed because this is the chapter I need to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars incredible choice for an introduction

This book was required for a college course on Latin American history. Unfortunately we were only able to use the first half of the book during the course. About two years after graduation I picked up the book and finished from where I left off. The final eight chapters are captivating and incredibly informative. Well written with an objective presentation.

I needed this book for a class I was taking in college. It gives a pretty view into the world of Latin America, although I think there are better sources of material out there.

Trabajando la teoría de la dependencia, los historiadores Keen y Hayes hacen un buen trabajo. Sin embargo, está muy caro.
