In the Shadows of State and Capital: The United Fruit Company, Popular Struggle, and Agrarian Restructuring in Ecuador, 1900-1995 (American Encounters/Global Interactions S.)

Rating:
Summary: Marxist Drivel!
Review: This book provides a distorted view of Ecuador and its banana industry. It is typical of the work produced by so many Marxists and leftists who dominate U.S. universities and Latin American Studies.

Rating:
Summary: Great Book
Review: This is a wonderful book. Not sure what first (amazon) reviewer was thinking. He is an international aid worker so it's no surprise he misses the point.

Rating:
Summary: Best Book on Ecuador
Review: This is social history at its best. It takes Ecuadorian history to a new level.
