{"product_id":"introduction-to-latin-america-1","title":"Introduction to Latin America","description":"`This excellent textbook provides students of Latin America with a rich and deep analysis of the processes and outcomes of globalization, past and present. Diversity and difference are explored using vivid and detailed country profiles. A strength of this textbook is its ability to explain complex issues in a way that is engaging and informative. It provides conceptual frameworks for students to engage in independent analysis of the complexities of global forces as they impact on, and interact with, the \"local\" in different contexts. It also, however, engages with the issues of crucial importance for the lived realities of Latin American people- poverty, development, the state and resistance under changing political, economic and ideological conditions. An essential buy for serious students of Latin America′ - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnne Boran, Chester College, University of Liverpool\n\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e`This is an outstanding textbook which will appeal to a wide audience but especially those wishing to understand contemporary Latin America....
