Review
"My overall reaction is positive. It is an easy book to teach from, in that it follows a chronological chain of events and touches on the most salient events of Latin American history!" — Giorgio Perissinotto, University of California, Santa Barbara
"I am pleased to see that Fox has broken with the country-by-country approach and has organized the book in terms of areas that are likely to be of principal interest to American students." — David William Foster, Arizona State University

An elegantly written text,
By
This review is from: Latinoamérica: presente y pasado (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This second edition of Fox's book is even better than the first. Fox is a master storyteller and has a keen understanding of his readership: undergraduate students of Spanish. I highly recommend this text for courses on Latin American history and culture. The book is rigorously researched, up-to-date, and fun to read. The exercises following each chapter's text help students reinforce basic understanding and can stimulate class discussion. I have found this text to be superior to many others that are available. Professor Fox's ability to synthesize major cultural trends and "forces of history" without being superficial is quite admirable. He is surprisingly insightful and demonstrates a breadth of knowledge that is highly unusual today. A great book.

Decent Spanish history book. Not much difference between this edition and the fourth. It is an easy read for a beginning Spanish student and I'd say that the reading is fairly interesting
