Description
According to the author, one word sums up the feeling inspired by the Latin American historical experience for almost two centuries: frustration. If, writes José del Pozo, one had to illustrate to what extent Latin America has known more failures than successes, it would suffice to compare current migratory flows with those of the late 19th century . At that time, countries like Cuba, Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina were as attractive to immigrants as Australia, Canada and the United States. Today, on the contrary, Latin Americans have their eyes turned towards Europe and the north of the continent.
In a global approach that takes into account both social and ethnic inequalities and the situation of dependency, a legacy of the "society of conquest", José del Pozo highlights the successes and reasons for hope: a literature that has imposed itself on the rest of the world, a slow emergence of democracy and an economy increasingly characterized by diversification and regional integration.
In this second, updated edition, the author incorporates a key period in the history of Latin America, that of the collapse of the colonial empires. Enriched with numerous tables, several historical maps and abundant iconography, this new edition remains the reference work on the history of Latin America and the Caribbean.
