This innovative text offers a clear and concise introduction to
Latin America since independence. Thomas C. Wright traces
continuity and change in five central colonial legacies:
authoritarian governance; a rigid social hierarchy based on race,
color, and gender; the powerful Roman Catholic Church; economic
dependency; and the large landed estate. He shows that the outcomes
of debate and contestation over these colonial legacies have been
crucial in shaping contemporary political systems, economies,
societies, and religious institutions in a richly diverse region.
These unifying themes guide the reader through each period. The
text's user-friendly illustrations, maps, chapter summaries, and
suggestions for further reading enrich student understanding of a
major part of the world.
