"This monumental compendium, as well as the other impressive volumes in the series, makes a lasting contribution to hemispheric historiography. Each of the nine essays…makes an invaluable contribution…truly impressive... This collection emerges as a tribute to the maturity of the Latin American studies profession... Few studies merit as strong a recommendation as this one." - Hispanic American Historical Review
