About This Book

Stunning in its sweep, Americas is the most authoritative history available of contemporary Latin America and the Caribbean. From Mexico to Tierra del Fuego, and from Cuba to Trinidad and Tobago, Americas examines the historical, demographic, political, social, cultural, religious, and economic trends in the region. For this new edition Peter Winn has provided a new preface and made revisions throughout to include the most up-to-date information on changes and developments in Latin America since the last revised edition of 1999.

A 
Question 
of 
Perspective:
Only 
in 
recent 
decades 
have 
alternative
views 
of 
the 
globe 
made 
their 
way 
into
maps. 
In 
1974, 
Arno 
Peters 
offered 
a 
pro-
jection 
(far 
right) 
that 
corrected 
Ger-
hardus 
Mercator’s 
1569 
map 
of 
the 
world
(right), 
which 
placed 
the 
equator 
deep 
in
the 
bottom 
half 
of 
the 
map, 
thus 
distorting
the 
size 
of 
the 
Northern 
Hemisphere. 
In
1982, 
Jesse 
Levine 
created 
a 
“turnabout
map” 
of 
the 
Western 
Hemisphere, 
with 
its
view 
from 
the 
south.
