By visiting seminal works and the cultures from which they emerged, following the effects of changes in scholarly norms and political developments on the training of students, and evaluating generations of scholarship in texts, monographs, and journal articles, Delpar illuminates the growth of scholarly inquiry into Latin American history, anthropology, geography, political science, economics, sociology, and other social science disciplines. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen Delpar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0817354646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780817354640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Alabama Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/24\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 6.12w x 0.66d","brand":"Helen Delpar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447792349439,"sku":"9780817354640","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31afaf3e-3479-49f6-98c3-1e4c8300ca94.jpg?v=1777234846","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/looking-south-helen-delpar-9780817354640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
