This is a fascinating interactive map put together by MSNBC detailing the political situation in Latin America. One can click on a particular country to receive a brief profile of the country's current leader, the election history, and his/her political platform. The main purpose of this map is to show how there as been a leftward political shift in the region. Some of the countries displayed are not interactive, perhaps because data is missing or because the leftward shift has not occurred in these countries. However, the designers have effectively marked the countries that are non-interactive by graying them out so that they cannot be clicked. This is a great interactive and graphical way to keep track of current events in Latin America. A screenshot of the map, with Brazil "clicked" is shown above. To obtain the true effect of this map, it is best to visit the link above.
