Description: "Senior French Mexicanist updates his handbook on contemporary Latin American history first published in 1977 (see HLAS 40:2148). For each region an annotated core bibliography, list of research tools, chronology, and statistics are introduced by a brief survey on the period in light of recent literature, pointing to innovative approaches and agendas for future research. Reflects throughout on Latin America as a culture born out of the Iberian matrix, on the emergence of an 'Ibero-American modernity,' and on the interplay of slow tempo and catalytic processes"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
