“This book offers both to the Latinfile and Latin novice an excellent sweep of key topical issues. MacHarg’s lively writing benefits from a lifetime of living among and appreciating our Latin neighbors.”
– Mr. Clyde Taylor, former U.S. Ambassador to Paraguay
Summary
Political instability, leftist governments, environmental problems, poverty, corruption and open borders that allow drugs, terrorists and millions of immigrants into the United States are challenges from our nearest neighbor, Latin America. Events south of our border are affecting us daily and changing our society, yet, to our peril, we ignore this region at our doorstep. Now, Kenneth D. MacHarg writes in an easy-to-read, journalistic style about Latin America, its people, issues and opportunities. And, he helps us to understand the unique characteristics Latin American immigrants bring that are changing our culture.
