Rezensionen
The editors of this collection have brought together leading critical scholars with a wealth of experience behind them to provide an up-to-date survey of the main economic, political, and social aspects of contemporary Latin America. Recommended. -- Ronaldo Munck, Dublin City University Provocative analyses that invert current orthodoxies. Reshapes how we think about social movements, rural societies, working class struggles and indigenous peoples. -- Elizabeth Dore, University of Southampton Recommended. CHOICE The essays written by a host of recognized professionals in Latin America studies focus on rural transformation, underdevelopment, economic restructuring, Pan-American perspectives on governing, economic, and social systems, gender, identity, theology, ecology, globalization and regionalism, and other subjects. Their analysis of such subjects goes beyond causes and consequences. In many ways, their conclusions border on a prophetic view of Latin American's future. This book, while structured for classroom use, is recommended to readers interested in the subject. Colonial Latin American Historical Review, Summer 2006 Together, all the eleven chapters in this book provide a general comparative framework for a deep analysis of Latin America and the Caribbean, demonstrating that Marxism still stands as a comprehensive and prosperous field for the development of a critical science, in particular if it is based on the intergrative concepts of capital, power and inequality. The multidimensional researches of the historical context and the contemporary structures of capital, power and inequality address an interdisciplinary texture of economic, political, and social changes in Latin America and the Caribbean that converts this must-read book into a valuable source for undergraduate and graduate students as well as for a broader public concerned with this region. European Review Of Latin American and Caribbean Studies, October 2009 The first edition of Capital, Power, and Inequality in Latin America was prophetic, and this revision is even more important, especially in light of the pace and space of globalization. In the spirit of Andre Gunder Frank, it examines Latin America and globalization: the diverse alliances of women's organizations and the growth of new social movements, political parties, indigenous movements, and environmentalist groups. While it is clearly written and appropriate for undergraduates, its analytical focus will appeal to all scholars." -- Pat Lauderdale, Arizona State University…mehr
