From Menems new Thatcherite experiment in Argentina, through Fujimoris unexpected victory in Peru, to Collors near defeat at the hands of the rapidly growing Workers Party of Brazil, Latin American politics is once again in turmoil. Whilst military dictators have been dumped from office, their liberal and populist replacements have found television exposure and playboy reputations insufficient to hold together societies still remorselessly squeezed insufficient to hold together societies still remorselessly squeezed by United States foreign policy. But US influence in the subcontinent is not only under siege from the impoverished masses of increasingly unstable states; it is also threatened by intensifying superpower competition as Japan and a unifying Europe mount their challenges for world dominance.In this wideranging and original polemic, Petras and Morley examine the social structures which emerged from neoliberal economic policy during the 1970s and 1980s. they show how Latin American society is increasingly organized around a continental bourgeoisie maintaining high levels of foreign investment, a national bourgeoisie operating on the margins of legality and committed to both economic deregulation and publicsector activity, and a growing class of lowpaid and poorly employed workers subject to the demands of exportoriented capital into international financial circuits is matched by technical and intellectual integration, with a collapse into conformity of formerly critical groupings.For students and the interested general reader, this balanced and rigorous analysis of state power and social form provides a substantial new framework in which to consider the exigent questions of USLatin American relations.
