520			_aThis volume presents an interpretive economic, political, and institutional history of contemporary Latin America that uses case studies to discuss the major countries and themes of the region over the past 150 years. The authors begin with a general historical overview, beginning with pre-Columbian times up until the present. After that, it looks at a variety of case studies within the region, including Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Cuba, the Caribbean, and Central America. They present not only the common threads that bind the region but also the distinctions between the countries and explain how that affects each individual country in the region
