The “purpose” according to the Preface:
…to probe beneath what the eye sees and to find the fundamental problems which the Latin Americans themselves and students of this important world area believe to be the most urgent today. This volume aims to describe and analyze the social and economic realities in Brazil and Spanish South America; its companion volume in the Anvil Series makes the same approach to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean countries. Both are prepared for students taking international affairs, U.S. diplomatic history, and modern Latin America, and also for the growing number of concerned and thoughtful persons who, in the United States and the hemisphere generally, are pondering the fate of their countries, and are aware that as citizens they must know more about the realities of other lands.
