Stephen G Perz Peru Highway History | sku-1484897785
No rating yet(0 ratings)The Road to the Land of the Mother of God: A History of the Interoceanic Highway in Peru is a hardcover Latin American History Books title by Stephen G Perz and Jorge Luis Castillo Hurtado. It traces more than five hundred years of the highway's history. The road links the Andean highlands and Amazonian lowlands of southern Peru and gives Brazil's economy an outlet.
It ended the isolation of Madre de Dios and other parts of southern Peru and the western Amazon, but political corruption exposed by the Lava Jato scandal helped make it possible, and the road allowed criminal businesses to spread. The authors examine how views and uses of roads change over time, along with effects on livelihoods, regional development, social conflict, ecology and culture.
