Steven Topik
Between 1850 and 1930, Latin America's integration into the world economy through the export of raw materials transformed the region. This encounter was nearly as dramatic as the conquistadors' epic confrontation with Native American civilizations. This book focuses on the impact of three export commodities: coffee, henequen, and petroleum.
