Abstract:
"Highly useful anthology dealing with the complex social, political and economic issues dominating Peru during the past three decades. Individual authors discuss the evolution of peasant communities in the sierra, the difficulties of transition from extended military to civilian rule after 1980, the dynamics of Fujimori's political leadership, the status of trade unions, the decline of Sendero Luminoso, and the troubling issue of human rights in contemporary Peru. Bibliography provides valuable guide to key issues of contemporary Peru"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58
