"First published in 1991, Faces of Latin America has since become the most popular introductory book to the continent. Widely used in teaching, it is also an accessible book for the general reader or traveller to the region." "This third edition has been extensively updated and reorganised and offers an unparalleled portrait of the continent. Faces of Latin America celebrates the vibrant culture of Latin America's people and reveals some of the key actors in the region's turbulent politics - the Left, the military, indigenous peoples and human rights movements." "In an accessible, dynamic style, Green traces the roots of the region's underdevelopment and poverty, exploring the role of the state and the region's painful conversion to the free-market economy and outlining gender issues, urbanisation, the environment and the role of culture and religion in contemporary Latin America."--BOOK JACKET.
