The Contemporary History of Latin America (Latin America in Translation)
&quot;If Halper&iacute;n's book owes its interpretive power and revisionist insights to the perspective and ideas of the economists concerned with the roots of Latin American underdevelopment, it tempers these insights with a historian's broad view of historical change, a wide familiarity with primary documents, and an unrivaled command over available secondary sources.&quot;&mdash;Charles Berquist, University of Washington, Seattle
