Specially-commissioned essays analyze Latin American history,
politics, art and literature from the nineteenth century to the
present and reveal the common heritage of pre-Columbian and
colonial Latin America. Although the Portuguese and
Spanish-speaking states created in the early 1820s differed greatly
geographically and demographically (in ethnic composition and
economic resources), they also shared distinct historical and
cultural traits. A chronology and guide to further reading make
this volume an invaluable introduction to the rich and varied
culture of mode Latin America.
