Review:

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION: In depth and great selection. Good for upper-level undergraduate courses and graduate courses.--Jose Morales, New Jersey City University

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION: Numerous respected Latin Americanist geographers tackle a wide range of current issues in this timely volume. Many of the chapters discuss the failures of neoliberalism and modernization and highlight the role of new social movements and political regimes in contesting orthodoxies of globalization. Essays on such newsworthy topics as migration, border issues, cinema, and drugs should engage the attention of students. This is a valuable and welcome addition to the textbook literature.--Gregory Knapp, University of Texas at Austin

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION: A refreshing look at human geographic themes that will serve as a cornerstone in any course in the social sciences about Latin America and the Caribbean, especially geography. The inclusion of social movements, cinema, sustainable tourism, human rights, and NGOs is particularly welcome.--Joseph L. Scarpaci, Virginia Tech
