A newly updated edition of the best-selling primer on the social,
political, and economic challenges facing Central and South America
Ten years after its first publication, Michael Reid's best-selling
survey of the state of contemporary Latin America has been wholly
updated to reflect the new realities of the "Forgotten Continent."
The former Americas editor for the Economist, Reid suggests that
much of Central and South America, though less poor, less unequal,
and better educated than before, faces harder economic times now
that the commodities boom of the 2000s is over. His revised,
in-depth account of the region reveals dynamic societies more
concerned about corruption and climate change, the uncertainties of
a Donald Trump-led United States, and a political cycle that, in
many cases, is turning from left-wing populism to center-right
governments. This essential new edition provides important insights
into the sweeping changes that have occurred in Latin America in
recent years and indicates priorities for the future.
