Three Roads South: Search for a Latin American Cultural IdentityPaperback, 4 December 2002

Three Roads South: Search for a Latin American Cultural Identity, the English edition of Tres caminos hacia el sur, offers as before, but to a broader readership, three different approaches to understanding Latin American culture. The first is a concise, informative introduction that highlights the ethnic and geographical diversity of the area, before examining the causes of its socioeconomic and political divisions. The second, in contrast, is an in-depth exploration of the common values and traits that constitute the cultural mainstream of Latin America. Finally, the third approach, from the perspective of the author's personal experience, seeks to bring the cultural values and traits of Latin America into a sharper focus through an analysis of mutual Latin and Anglo American stereotypes.
