Even in the US, a country that fancies itself as a model of democracy, African-Americans were not truly enfranchised until the mid-1960’s. In Latin America, democracy has similarly been incomplete, unstable, and often inaccessible to indigenous, African-American, and mixed populations.
拉丁美洲的民主来之不易。即便是在把自己标榜为民主模板的美国，非洲裔美国人也直到20世纪60年代才赢得了选举权。拉丁美洲的民主同样并不完整、也不稳定，土著人、非洲裔美国人和混血人种面对民主只能望洋兴叹。
