Part One covers key debates in the 1950s and 1960s, when academics and policy-makers questioned whether Latin America's emerging "middle sectors" would foster democracy, development, and stability. Case studies in Part Two show how those older questions are both answered and challenged by today's social and cultural historical approaches.Middle classLatin AmericaHistory20th centuryLatin AmericaSocial conditions20th centuryLatin AmericaEconomic conditions20th centuryLatin AmericaPolitics and government20th centuryElectronic books.Middle classHistory305.55098Parker D.
