Hoja de ruta
is a textbook for college courses on Culture and
Civilization of Latin America. This fifth edition of 564 pp
is updated as of June 30, 2010. Written in a student
friendly style, Hoja de ruta fifth edition includes the new
political developments in Latin America which prompted a
redesign of the political map of the continent where three
political tendencies clearly stand out: a moderate left and
center-left, the “Socialismo del Siglo XXI” and the
center-right, as well as the factors that have furthered a
new way of doing politics such as the cases of Marco
Enríquez Ominami in Chile and Antanas Mockus in Colombia.
In addition, it features a new chapter on the Hispanic
population in the USA and the impact of the new Arizona immigration law, as well
as the latest information on social issues such as the situation of minority
groups (women, the GLBT population); the new faces of violence: narco
violence and gender violence or feminicidios; the impact of drug
trafficking on the economy of the countries producers of drug.
Recommended as "the most engaging textbook of its kind in
the market" for introducing the students, not only to a historical overview of
Latin America, but most prominently, to an array of current topics of interest
that range from politics to how to prepare delicious ethnic plates; from history
to the role of women in the shaping of Latin American societies; from literature
to reguetón or to the presence of Latin American films at the most prestigious
international festivals; from art or religion to the use of flirtatious remarks.
The sixteen chapters of the book follow a skillful,
didactic strategy: the "hoja de ruta" or roadmap of the chapter; a
self-evaluation, "¿Cuánto sabemos?", of their knowledge on the topic; the
chapter itself; a review guide with questions and puzzles, "¿Cuánto sabemos
ahora?"; and finally, topics to think, research, write and discuss about. Hoja
de ruta transforms the classroom in a lively forum that will prepare the
students with a deep understanding of current societies in this always changing
continent which is Latin America.
Updated every two - three years.
