The Immigrant divide
How Cuban Americans Changed
the U.S. and Their Homeland
Susan Eckstein, Boston University, USA
’Few social scientists know
Cuba as deeply or as subtly
as Susan Eckstein. She has
written the best sociological
analysis of the political
evolution of the island
during the revolutionary
period, Back from the Future.
Now, she turns her attention
to the Cuban diaspora and,
with the same dispassionate
eye, tells us of its behavior
and its consequences both
for their native and their adopted countries. A
must-read for anyone interested in Cuba or
immigrant politics.’ – Alejandro Portes

Mark Eric Williams, Middlebury College, USA
This book examines U.S.-Latin American relations from a
historical, contemporary, and theoretical perspective. By

past—and interweaving history with theory—Williams
illustrates the enduring principles of International

conceptual tools required to help them organize facts,
think systematically about issues, weigh competing
explanations, and have confidence in their own
conclusions regarding the past, present, and future of
international politics in the region.

The Political Economy
of Latin America
Reflections on Neoliberalism and
Development
Peter Kingstone, University of Connecticut, USA
Neoliberalism has been at the
centre of enormous controversy
since its first appearance in
Latin America in the early
1970s. Even neoliberalism’s
strongest supporters concede
that it has not lived up to its
promises and that growth,
poverty, and inequality all have
performed considerably worse
than hoped.
This brief text offers an
unbiased reflection on the
neoliberal debate in Latin America and the institutional
puzzle that underlies the region’s difficulties with
democratization and development. In addition to
providing an overview of this key element of the Latin
American political economy, Peter Kingstone also
advances an important but under-explored argument
about political institutions. Kingstone offers a unique
contribution by mapping out the problem of how to
understand institutions, why they are created, and why
Latin American ones function the way they do.
Selected Contents: 1. Markets, States, and the Challenge
of Development in Latin America 2. Import-Substitution
Industrialization and the Great Transformation in Latin
America 3. Neoliberalism and its Discontents 4. The Two
Lefts and the Return of the State 5. Government, Markets
and Institutions: Reflections on Development
