Highlights
Comprehensive and Current
Professor Chasteen’s engaging narrative guides students through Latin America’s complicated history—a history of conquest and colonization, racial mixing and class construction, revolution and republic formation, and the never-ending quest for sustained economic growth and political and social equality.
The Second Edition has been meticulously updated in light of new scholarship and includes coverage of the most recent political, economic, and sociological events in Latin America, including the economic crises throughout Latin America and the effects of post-9/11 policy on the region.
New Pedagogy, Same Value
Born in Blood and Fire is the most concise and affordable survey in the field. At the request of instructors, the Second Edition includes new detailed timelines that precede each chapter, helping students to better grasp chronology without interrupting the flow of the text, as well as a number of new maps.
