Real World Latin America's engaging articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the award-winning magazine of popular economics, and NACLA Report on the Americas. Dollars & Sense also publishes Real World Micro, Real World Macro, Current Economic Issues, The Wealth Inequality Reader, Real World Globalization, Grassroots Journalism, Striking a Balance: Work, Family, Life, Real World Banking and Finance, The Environment in Crisis, Introduction to Political Economy, and Unlevel Playing Fields: Understanding Wage Inequality and Discrimination. The North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA) is an independent, nonprofit organization founded in 1966 that works toward a world in which the nations and peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean are free from oppression and injustice, and enjoy a relationship with the United States based on mutual respect, free from economic and political subordination. To that end, our mission is to provide information and analysis on the region, and on its complex and changing relationship with the United States, as tools for education and advocacy-to foster knowledge beyond borders.

This is a timely and invaluable overview of current political, economic, social and cultural dynamics in Latin America. It brings together an impressive array of experts who write in a concise and accessible manner on a wide range of topics that define the current Latin American and hemispheric reality. Here the reader will find analysis and context for making sense of today's headlines. I cannot imagine a more important collection for classroom use and for readers from the general public interested in understanding contemporary Latin America.
