Items related to Guide to the Perfect Latin American Idiot
By opening the ever-escalating debate regarding Latin America's "underdeveloped" status and cloaking the seriousness of the situation with wit and humor, the Guide to the Perfect Latin American Idiot reached number one status on the nonfiction bestseller lists in many countries in Latin America. It reveals the connection between economic success and cultural values―attitudes toward work, education, health care and community―and the consequence of the Latin American people retaining or evolving these values.

Review:
Three Latin Americans team up to shred the slavish political correctness that they see dominating Latin American elites.... Exaggerated, even unfair at times, this book nevertheless provides a rollicking good read. (Foreign Affairs)
Deeply iconoclastic.... It is a valuable work of historical conservation...it succeeds admirably. (The New Criterion)
