Booklist
<i>Portraits of Persistence</i> is an invaluable addition to any discussion of Latin America, poverty, political instability, neoliberalism, gender, indigenous populations, and more. It goes beyond what statistical or demographic descriptions provide to give a poignant view of the lives of ordinary humans in often extraordinary circumstances. It is ideal for courses in ethnographic research, sociology, political science, Latin American Studies and more, or as an interesting and informative read on its own.
Ethnic and Racial Studies
By situating each life story within its broader sociohistorical context, the writers and subjects of Portraits offer unique perspectives into Latin America’s complex reality — and offer deeply compelling stories of lives shaped by hardship and hope.
