The Emergence of Latin America in the Nineteenth Century

A succinct coverage of an entire region, and over a period of a century. More than just South America. The authors also survey Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. By necessity, therefore, coverage is sparse for the smaller countries. But the authors have done well, in bringing out the main historical trends, and to place these in the context of changes across the region. Like the briefly flowering Brazilian Empire, which sought to emulate the US and the European empires.If a country's description here leaves you frustrated for more details, then the authors have probably done well. Left you interested in the subject.
