From the Foundations in Global Studies series, this text offers
students a fresh, comprehensive, multidisciplinary entry point to
Latin America. After a brief introduction to the study of the
region, the early chapters of the book survey the essentials of
Latin American history; important historical narratives; and the
region's languages, religions, and global connections. Students are
guided through the material with relevant maps, resource boxes, and
text boxes that support and guide further independent exploration
of the topics at hand. The second half of the book features
interdisciplinary case studies, each of which focuses on a specific
country or subregion and a particular issue. Each chapter gives a
flavor for the cultural distinctiveness of the particular country
yet also draws attention to global linkages. Readers will come away
from this book with an understanding of the larger historical,
political, and cultural frameworks that shaped Latin America as we
know it today, and of current issues that have relevance in Latin
America and beyond.
