Arranged according to the political, social, and cultural themes which have shaped Latin America, it features over 400 exquisitely reproduced images, representing both famous and little-known photographers. From family portraits of turn-of-the-century Argentinean aristocrats to modern photojournalism of El Salvadoran guerillas; from native peoples of the rainforest to urban centers of Brazil; from island landscapes to Mexican villages -- this book has an intimate, human approach to its daunting subject. Containing an exhaustive wealth of stunning pictures, it is a window into a vast array of both past and present cultures.
