Product Description Now in its fifth edition, Politics of Latin America explores both the evolution and the current state of politics in Latin America. Distinguishing itself from more traditional works on the subject, this unique text demonstrates a nuanced sensitivity to the use and abuse of power and the importance of social conditions, gender, race, globalization, class, and political economy throughout Latin America. Review "Politics of Latin America has many excellent features and is probably the single best hybrid of thematic and country approaches." ―Philip Meeks, Creighton University About the Author Harry E.
