His revised, in-depth account of the region reveals dynamic societies more concerned about corruption and climate change, the uncertainties of a Donald Trump-led United States, and a political cycle that, in many cases, is turning from left-wing populism to center-right governments. This essential new edition provides important insights into the sweeping changes that have occurred in Latin America in recent years and indicates priorities for the future.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Reid \u003c\/b\u003eis Latin American columnist and a senior editor for \u003ci\u003eThe Economist.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eHe is the author of \u003ci\u003eBrazil: The Troubled Rise of a Global Power\u003c\/i\u003e (2014), also published by Yale.
