The Pitt Latin American Studies series began in 1968. Since then PLAS has grown to include a wide array of distinguished books from a variety of disciplinary, ideological, and methodological perspectives on every aspect of Latin American politics, society, economics, and culture - with particular strength in the disciplines of politics and history. PLAS continues to thrive even as it is poised to begin its fifth decade.

With a strong, wide-ranging list in Latin American studies, the University of Pittsburgh Press looks forward to expanding and deepening its publishing efforts in this vibrant and increasingly important region of the world.
