Lewis and Able examine the economic relationship between Latin
America and the 'advanced' countries since their independence from
Spanish and Portuguese rule. They reinterpret the significance of
Latin America's external connections through juxtaposing Latin
America and the British scholars from different ideological and
intellectual backgrounds. This work is of considerable importance
in promoting comparative work in development studies of Latin
America and the Third World.
Analyzing the social consequences of recent development strategies
in Latin America, this volume introduces readers to official
strategies, private initiatives and individual responses to issues
of welfare and poverty during the 20th century. These issues are
addressed from several disciplines, using conventional economic
data to interpret social change.;An introduction is followed by a
wide range of case studies, including Pinochet's Chile, the Haiti
of the Duvaliers and Nicaragua under the Somocistas and
Sandinistas, as well as Brazil, Mexico, the Argentine, Cuba and
Columbia. Christopher Abel is co-editor with Nissa Torrents of
"Jose Marti: Revolutionary Democrat".
Marti was a leading Cuban nationalist in the independence war of
the 1890s that anticipated the Third World liberation struggles of
the 20th century and played for the Cuban Revolution a similar role
to that of Lenin in Russia. This title looks at his role in
US-Latin American relations, his contribution to ideological
debates and the influence of American and German thinking in his
social criticism.
