The Club 3 de Outubro, overlooked by most studies of the Brazilian revolution of 1930, played a central role in the tenente movement and in the revolution itself. The 1930s were a watershed in modern Brazilian history, when state, society, and economy were altered, sometimes radically. Although some of the changes were responses to the Depression and international conditions, the revolution as a political phenomenon was a dominant force in shaping contemporary Brazil. State authorities ceded power to the Central Government's interventors (delegates), counteracting Brazil's strong regionalist tradition and assuring the dominance of national institutions. In addition, urban voters in the 19305 for the first time had an influential voice in politics, sometimes as allies of the tenentes. The army, strengthened and unified vis-à-vis the state militias, was subordinated to the Federal Government.

During the late Empire in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro society felt the stirrings of a new process, one which would seriously alter—and threaten—the traditional way of life in the city. In imitation of Europe, well-to-do citizens began forming voluntary associations for mutual aid and protection. The trend soon reached the middle and upper levels of the proletariat, whose organizations became labor unions. Most sectors of the urban society gradually organized around interest groups, and as the city surged into the new century with over a half-million people, occasional conflict marred the society of "conciliation and reform." By the 1920s, with the sobering experiences of Europe, Russia, and Mexico in mind, thoughtful Brazilians called for conservative social policy to contain class conflict. Many blamed the excessive liberalism of republican government since 1889 and harked back to medieval institutions for bringing social peace.

"This comprehensive text provides a detailed narrative history of each of the nations of Latin America, from Chile and Argentina in the South to Mexico and Cuba in the north. It begins with the Wars of Independence in the early nineteenth century and stretches to the democratic turn in the twenty-first. It interprets major themes, such as the age of caudillos in the nineteenth century, populism in the twentieth century, and globalization in the twenty-first century. These themes, along with others such as ethnic strife, social revolutions, and militarism, transcend borders and show the unity of the Latin America experience, even as the text draws out the diversity that marks the region's geography, peoples, and cultures."--Provided by publisher
