Now thoroughly updated in its eighth edition; Modern Latin America is a lively interpretive history and the leading text in the field. Featuring vivid; anecdotal illustrative boxes; the book uses case studies to discuss the major countries and themes of the region over the past 200 years. For each country; Thomas E. Skidmore; Peter H. Smith; and James N. Green examine such central themes as European-New World interaction; racial mixtures; military takeovers; and U.S. intervention in the area.

It is a well-written and insightful treatise on the treatment of various immigrant groups that went through Angel Island to start a new life in America.
