Notes:
280 p., "While difficult to define--and sometimes even to locate—the Hispanic Caribbean is fraught with tension. The region includes nations that have common histories yet very different contemporary political characteristics. This collection maps out the reasons behind the tensions and looks specifically at the distinctive causes and founding concepts of the area."
