Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is one of those historical texts in which the author not only revises our understanding of the past, but also shakes up our intellectual certainties in the present ... this text remains an important and influential one in Latin American studies. A preface to this second edition helps locate the text within the rather abrupt changes over the past decade ... "--British Bulletin of Publications on Latin America, April 2000 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
