With the fall of the Soviet Union and the acceleration of global economic, political, and social pressures, Mexico, Central, and South America have undergone vast transformations. This collection details these changes and updates scholarship on a region once defined by the cold war and now struggling to define itself within the era of economic globalisation and democratisation. Rapid changes in the region have produced new and contentious scholarship, the best of which is contained in this five-volume set. The organisation is clear. Each volume treats a key discipline of study and the set forms a comprehensive whole.
