Synopsis
Placing Latin America offers a thematic approach to the study of the diverse geographies of a globalizing region. This comprehensive text focuses on the dynamic connections between people, places, and environments rather than on predefined notions about the region. The book’s well-rounded and accessible analysis includes discussions of borders and migration, transnationalism and globalization, urbanization and landscapes of cities, the connections between economic development and political change, the physical environment and human-environmental interactions, and natural resources in the context of a global economy. The authors also explore social and cultural themes such as the illegal drug trade, social movements, tourism, and children and young people. Providing a nuanced and clear perspective, this book will be an invaluable guide for all those interested in the politics, economy, and society of a rapidly changing continent.

Review
Respected Latin Americanist geographers tackle a wide range of current issues in this timely book. 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. Updated essays on such newsworthy topics as cities and sustainability, natural resources, genetically modified crops and food, tourism, drugs, children, social movements, and the border will engage the attention of students. This continues to be a valuable and welcome contribution to the textbook literature. (Gregory Knapp, The University of Texas at Austin)
