The construction of new nations and peoples in the nineteenth century forms the middle third, and the final section analyzes economic development, rising political participation, and the search of identity over the last century. The collision of peoples and cultures–Native Americans, Europeans, Africans–that defines Latin America, and gives it both its unity and diversity, provides the central theme of this concise, synthetic history.” paperback edition
