Description

Lewis and Able examine the economic relationship between Latin America and the advanced countries since their independence from Spanish and Portuguese rule. They reinterpret the significance of Latin Americas external connections through juxtaposing Latin America and the British scholars from different ideological and intellectual backgrounds. This work is of considerable importance in promoting comparative work in development studies of Latin America and the Third World.
