In the 1990s, "protection," "import substitution," and "intervention" have become dirty words, part of the "leyenda negra" of Latin America development in the post-war period. This book attempts a fresh look at the controversial years between the end of the Second World War and the point when, at varying dates in different countries, a discontinuity occurs in which the post-war "style of development" ceased to play a central role in the economic evolution of the region. The analysis is based on seven case studies covering 11countries.
In the 1990s, 'protection', 'import substitution' and
'intervention' have become dirty words, part of the 'leyenda negra'
of Latin America development in the postwar period. This book
attempts a fresh look at the controversial years between the end of
the Second World War and the point when, at varying dates in
different countries, a discontinuity occurs in which the postwar
'style of development' ceased to play a central role in the
economic evolution of the region. The analysis is based on seven
case studies covering eleven countries.
The first volume in this series explores the impact on Latin America of the extraordinary transformation in the international economy that took place in the half century or so which preceded the world depression of the 1930s. The internationally respected authors show how the response varied in terms of both growth and distribution, shaped by varying preconditions, by natural resources and geography. The interplay of economic developments with political and social structures had profound and varied effects on policy making and on institutions, of great significance for the next decade.

Central Americans are the third largest and fastest growing Latino
population in the United States. And yet, despite their demographic
presence, there has been little scholarship focused on this group.
Constituting Central American-Americans is an exploration of the
historical and disciplinary conditions that have structured U.S.
Central American identity and of the ways in which this identity
challenges how we frame current discussions of Latina/o, American
ethnic, and diasporic identities. By focusing on the formation of
Central American identity in the U.S., Maritza E. Cardenas
challenges us to think about Central America and its diaspora in
relation to other U.S. ethno-racial identities.
The book presents original work on how nanomaterials are applied to
concrete through electromutagenic processes, which modify the
microstructure of concrete materials in situ without changing their
dimensions or appearance. In essence, it shows how high-performance
concrete can be mixed without expensive additives. The book offers
a method for dispersing nanoparticles in concrete and explains how
their presence reduces porosity, increases strength and prevents
cracking - information that can be used for more efficient repair
and rehabilitation. Nanomaterials are shown to improve
barrier-formation, anti-corrosiveness, and other functions of
concrete. Extensive practical guidelines are given on formulation,
set-up, mixing, and testing. This book: explains how to modify
concrete after hardening, and repair with minimal destruction. It
provides engineering details on how nanoparticles relate to
porosity, cracking, and corrosion. It includes scientific
background and information on set-up, mixing, and testing.
