'This book is impressive in scope and depth. It offers an introduction to Latin America for those unfamiliar with the region and a novel perspective for specialists – one centered on inequality and state weakness as conditioning factors for the attainment of full citizenship and for regime-level dynamics. Especially impressive is how the authors integrate cutting-edge scholarship across disciplines, a wealth of easy-to-interpret empirical data, and images that capture key ideas visually. Comparisons around topical themes offer frameworks for thinking through pressing questions, and invite inquiry into individual cases. Support materials for instructors are pedagogically careful and creative. This book will profoundly shape how we teach about Latin American politics in the years to come.'
