The Human Tradition Around the World Series |
| Description: |
Aims to emphasise the human element in the study of Latin American history by focusing on the lives of 23 men and women whose stories vividly dramatise the impact that modernisation has on the daily lives of ordinary people in a traditional society. |
| Synopsis: |
This unique collection emphasizes the human element in the study of Latin American history by focusing on the lives of twenty-three men, women, and children. Though they differ widely from each other in background and circumstance, these individuals share a common experience: all are caught up in some way by the profound, sometimes devastating, changes that accompany the modernization of a traditional society. Their stories bring vividly to life the impact that revolution, economic upheaval, urbanization, destruction of community life, and the disruption of family and gender roles have on ordinary people. These studies also bring out the various ways, often creative and courageous, in which Latin Americans have coped with the fortunes and vicissitudes of 'progress.' |
