Annotation: This volume presents case studies that illustrate the complex social and economic factors that lead to environmental degradation and underdevelopment in Central and South America. The contributors use a political ecology approach, analyzing the dynamics of social classes with fundamentally divergent interests. The introductory chapter provides a helpful comparative overview of the differences between the two continents, and an insightful final chapter presents a conceptual framework within which all of the studies are discussed.
