Trade Review
. . . one of the most important books in recent years on hemisphere relations. . . . A bold work that could scarcely have been conceived until recently, Latin America in Caricature is a product of the climate of raised consciousness that has made many privileged white males aware of the hollowness of the stereotypes they have concocted to rationalize domination over blacks, women, and other purportedly less-than-rational beings—stereotypes that they then projected southward so as to justify their assumed rights of hegemony in the hemisphere. -- Fredrick B. Pike * Hispanic American Historical Review *
