About Politics Of Latin America: The Power Game
Product Description Now in its sixth edition, Politics of Latin America: The Power Game explores both the evolution and the current state of the political scene in Latin America. This text demonstrates a nuanced sensitivity to the use and abuse of power and the importance of social conditions, gender, race, globalization, and political economy throughout the region. It is uniquely divided into two parts: one that treats big-picture, thematic questions, and one that focuses on particular countries through case studies of ten representative nations: Guatemala, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. Review "The distinct advantage of Politics of Latin America, Sixth Edition, is its attention to intersectionality. It treats race and gender in a very integrated and holistic manner. The book will also appeal to those who want a good overview of politics and history with a representative sample of country cases." --Erica Townsend-Bell, Oklahoma State University "The interdisciplinary nature of Politics of Latin America--especially its interplay of history, geography, the economy, and social forces--makes it a distinct innovation in the field. I would most definitely recommend it to a colleague." --Daniel S Haworth, University of Houston, Clear Lake This text combines three essential elements: theory, salient themes, and case studies written by specialists. It provides a solid context for the region that permits students to better understand Latin America's political development and current politics." --Maria R. Garcia-Acevedo, California State University, Northridge " Politics of Latin America, Sixth Edition, has a significant number of both thematic chapters and case-study chapters, which gives professors a lot of flexibility." --Megan Sholar, Loyola University of Chicago About the Author Harry Vanden is Professor of Political Science and International Studies at the University of South Florida. Gary Prevost is Professor of Political Science at St. John's University and the College of St. Benedict.
