Latin America in Colonial Times
Latin America in Colonial Times presents the story of how Latin American civilization emerged from the encounter of three great civilizations in the sixteenth century. The authors give equal attention to the Spanish and Portuguese conquerors and settlers, to the African slaves they brought across the Atlantic, and to the indigenous peoples whose lands were invaded.
"In its attention to the African contribution, and emphasis on the agency of actors at all levels of society and from all ethnic groups, Restall and Lane's work distinguishes itself from other broad histories of colonial Latin America. An excellent introduction to the region's historical complexity and diversity, this is an engaging survey sure to ignite interest among a broad array of students." – David T. Garrett, author of Shadows of Empire: The Indian Nobility of Cusco, 1750–1825 (Cambridge, 2005)

Inequality
This textbook reflects a hybrid approach to studying stratification. It addresses the knowledge accumulated by stratification scholars and challenges students to apply this information to their social world. The authors include a wide variety of topics and provide current research to round out their discussions. Each chapter includes a list of key concepts, questions for thought, suggested exercises, and multimedia resources.
"At long last, here's a text that straightforwardly lays out the structure of inequality in our New Gilded Age, without a hint of obfuscation and without the usual distracting polemics. After the facts are laid bare, Keister and Southgate turn just as deftly to describing the mechanisms behind them, the policies that affect them, and the reasons for and against caring about them. A gem of a book." – David B. Grusky, author of The Inequality Reader: Contemporary and Foundational Readings in Race, Class, and Gender (2011)
