Synopsis

This second edition includes discussions of a decade of conflict in Central America, the tenuous trend to redemocratization in South America, and the traumatic impact of drugs and debt throughout the hemisphere. Contributors also examine new developments in the second half of the 1980s, such as the emphasis on the export sector, a trend to privatization, general retranchment with regard to social welfare programmes, and the recognition that distinctive ecological zones are threatened. The expanding influence of Latin American intellectual, literary and artistic contributions is also given special attention.
