Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Well-organized treatment of an important period of Latin American history that is often overlooked, even though most contemporary challenges in the hemisphere have their roots in it."--Garth Hansen, Prescott College "A wonderful text; not only the best survey of the 19th century but also a joy to read. Students love its organization and wonderful way with words. I will adopt for future courses as well."--M. Sherry Johnson, Florida International University "This book is different from those for the same period of time. It makes explicit what others leave implicit--the fundamental and lasting importance of the historical events and developments recounted."--Gerardo Mora-Brenes, Highline Community College "I wish material of this quality and type (summary) were available in Spanish."--Newell T. Morgan, Northwest Nazarene College "Through comprehensive and skillful assessment of major trends and movements this book makes the complexity of 19th- century Latin America accessible to students and specialists alike. It has no equal and constitutes a significant contribution to Latin American history."--Jerry M. Williams, West Chester University "A superb synthesis of the complexities of a crucial century. Fully revised with new bibliographic items and an exciting and lucid review of Peruvian development in historical perspective."--David J. Robinson, Syracuse University "These are high-powered, well written, up-to-date syntheses--concise and complete."--Rene M. Descartes, SUNY Agricultural and Technical College Praise for the first edition: "A superb work, especially for beginning undergraduates. Offers a good overview of 19th century Latin America."--Sonny Davis, Western State College of Colorado Praise for the first edition: "Well written, often using the device of a biographical portrait to make larger points. It makes an enormous contribution; there is no other volume (in any language) that offers a synthesis with this range in this period.... Excellent...it will certainly blaze a trail."--Thomas E. Skidmore, Brown University

Reseña del editor:

This lively and accessible text on the period of independence (the nineteenth century) covering all the major countrires of Latin America has become the standard work in the field. For the second edition, the authors have added new material based on recently published research and augmented references to areas of special contemporary interest. The bibliography also has been updated.
