- Summary:
- This is a broad introduction to Latin America, ranging from religion and history to literature and education, with a focus on cultures and cultural change. With lively prose and a variety of informative inserts, Williamson draws the reader into the diverse realities of a continent in flux. The text is held together by a strong theoretical framework, and does not shy away from the complexity of the continent, or the degree of contingency, conflict, and turmoil at play in the region.
