Books by Forrest D. Colburn

This book investigates studies on colonialism and anti-colonialism from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. This project will appeal to the academics, researchers, and students in the fields of comparative politics, development studies, government, and economics.

After decades of ideological struggle Latin America has embraced liberalism. This book explores this period of circumscribed political passions through portrayals of crucial political, economic, social, and cultural issues: governance, entrepreneurs and markets, urban bias, poverty, the struggle for women's equality, consumerism, and others.

Peasant rebellions are uncommon, and the author explores the alternative forms of struggle which they use to achieve their aims. Seven countries are studied for research purposes, Poland, India, Egypt, Colombia, China, Nicaragua and Zimbabwe.
