Book Summary

Latin American Politics is a comprehensive anthology that compiles 24 scholarly essays examining the political landscapes of various Latin American countries during the mid-20th century. The book is divided into two main sections:

  1. Part One: Focuses on overarching themes such as political change measurement, the role of culture in politics, the influence of military institutions, student movements, landholding elites, middle sectors, political parties, and the dynamics of revolutions and violence.

  2. Part Two: Provides in-depth analyses of the political situations in individual countries, including Mexico, Bolivia, Cuba, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Uruguay, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua.

The anthology is notable for its diverse methodological approaches and its inclusion of previously published studies that might be challenging to access otherwise. However, some critiques point out that the absence of an introductory or concluding essay leaves the reader to independently discern the connections and themes across the various studies. Despite this, the compilation remains a valuable resource for understanding the complex political dynamics of Latin America during the 1960s.
