Description: "Applying Gramscian world-system and related theories to evolution of Latin American studies in the US, Berger sees academic activity profoundly complementing continuous US imperial policies. Although the approach precludes much complexity, review of literature is exceptionally thorough and limited thesis itself well-argued. Almost 60 percent of book devoted to notes and bibliography"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
