Living in the shadow
of the world's largest economy has not worked out well for Latin
America's poor. Three hundred million can't meet their basic needs
and they live in some of the most unequal countries in the world.
But is there a change under way? Is the continent coping with
globalisation? How is big business changing the lives of the poor?
What is the impact of more than twenty million Hispanics working in
the US? Is massive democratic change in Bolivia the key – or new
property rights for the poor in Peru? Can wages be raised from two
dollars a day to eight? We talk to workers, farmers and the heads of
corporations, to award-winning writers and thinkers to understand
the “The Other America”. |
