“Professor Tannenbaum has given us ten keys to Latin America. They are: the Land and the People, Race, Religion, Regionalism, the Hacienda, Education, Leadership, Politics, The United States and Latin America, and Castro and Social Change … Professor Tannenbaum has traveled throughout the Latin American countryside and knows the continent as few Latin Americanists do… His remarks are often wise and penetrating.”
