Excerpt from South America to-Day: A Study of Conditions, Social, Political and Commercial in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil I have been asked for my impressions as a traveller in South America. I had no sooner promised them than a difficulty presented itself. I have no notes of my journey, and I should be sorry to have them, for it is annoying to record impressions in black and white at the precise moment when one feels them most vividly. And I pass over in silence the hours when it is wisdom to remain quiet. The task of Christopher Columbus was lightened by one fact. America was there, stationary, in the middle of the sea, only waiting for some one to knock against it. I even found in Brazil an eminent Senator for the State of St. Paul, Senhor Almeida Nogueira, who declared that the principal event of that Friday, October 12th, was the discovery - by the original Americans - of Europe in the person of the great Genoese. They had this advantage over him - they had not left their homes. What was I going to discover in my turn, at the risk of being myself discovered? Unknown countries? Unheard-of peoples? Virgin civilisations? Or simply points of comparison for new judgments on myself and on my country? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The volume takes a broad view of recent social, political, and economic developments in Latin America. It contains six essays, focused on salient and cross-cutting themes, that try to construct a thread or narrative about the highly diverse region, highlighting its main idiosyncrasies and analyzing where it might be headed in coming years. While the essays recognize considerable advances, they also point out setbacks and missed opportunities that have stood in the way of sustained progress. Strengthening state capacity emerges as a significant challenge.
