description: The existential conditions under which most Latin Americans live are explored in this book in a systematic dialectic between primary documents and social science analysis. The authors developed their own interpretatioins in an ongoing argument, drawing on data from historical accounts, ethnographic reports, and essays by observers of Latin American. One of the major themes of this book is the growing polarization of masses and elites in Latin America, and the forms of conflict such polarization entails. Thirty-three striking photographs illuminate various aspectsof contemporary Latin American society.
