Provides an overarching historical and geographical analysis of the
region combined with a focus on many important themes and issues of
contemporary Latin American development. Introduces readers to the
politics, economies, and cultures of Latin America, outlining the
region's key development challenges, the diverse ways in which its
peoples are responding to such challenges and ways in which such
challenges and responses can be theorized. Existing competition is
either dated, lacks a consistent focus on development or else lacks
the student friendly pedagogy of the text. Empirical information
and analysis is drawn from all areas of the region and includes the
majority of important events over an extended period of time, but
especially in recent years. Focus on transformations provides a
unifying theme and focuses the text and provides a useful avenue
for engaging students. Key Changes for the New Edition The entire
text will be revised and updated in a way that takes into account
changes that have taken place since publication (deaths of leaders,
elections of new leaders, retreat of Pink Tide, Colombian peace
accords, new forms of social mobilization, the intensification of
extractivism, murders of environmental defenders, major disasters,
the new contours of feminist and anti-patriarchal struggles). All
of the boxes will be replaced with new and more recent examples, as
will many of the photos, illustrations and web resources. The new
edition will feature new chapters on conceptual underpinnings,
Latin America and the World, Disastrous Development,
Afro-descendent Struggles and the Latin American City. The chapters
will also be reordered so that the theoretical approaches covered
in the text are foregrounded and so the new edition will start with
the key theoretical approaches to be covered (especially decolonial
theory) and then the theory will be drawn upon throughout. There is
also a need for nuanced analysis of contemporary and highly
polarizing events that students are seeking to understand (in
particular, what went wrong in Venezuela or whether what is going
on in Bolivia is a coup) so there will be good coverage of these
aspects.
