Abstract
The article below reviews past and present conditions in Latin America and evaluates alternatives to existing structural problems. It is a general overview for the non-specialized reader who may not be deeply familiar with Latin American affairs. It departs substantially from the more focused theoretical discussion elsewhere in this journal. It directly concerns problems, people, and institutions in Latin America, and as such we hope that it will provide useful background for teachers, students, and workers alike. Rodolfo Stavenhagen is Director of the Center for Sociological Studies, Colegio de México. His article is a revised version of a lecture given at the University of Geneva during September 1971. The author wishes to thank Philip Russell for the translation into English.
