Many of the broad themes of recent Latin American history
modernization, dependency, revolution, and neoliberalism
are constantly challenged by attention to the area
s diversity. By interspersing accounts of the prominent and well known with the more commonplace, this new history enriches Latin America
s master narrative with vivid and revealing portraits of ordinary people. In particular, Meade addresses the role of gender and its influence on stimulating political and economic change. Also examined is the crucial role of popular culture
music, art, sports, and the movies
in shaping a broad and vibrant Latin American cultural identity. With an engaging combination of personal histories interwoven with historical analysis, A History of Modern Latin America strikes a perfect balance in its presentation of the tumultuous years of post–colonial Latin America.
