Recenzje

"Any addition to the monumental Cambridge History provides a salient landmark for Latin American studies since the series offers both a unique teaching and research aid and a useful synopsis of the ‘state-of-the-art’ in the field. Volume VI – split into two sizable volumes – is no exception… a great deal of valuable scholarship is packed into these volumes… volumes that will be widely and profitably used, particularly by readers looking for up-to-date resumes of these grand, complex contemporary themes… The area covered by the contributors is enormous… their – generally - diligent mapping of modern Latin America has greatly enhanced our collective cognitive capacity." - Journal of Latin American Studies
