I had taken course in undergrad that covered most of this material, but this book was a good refresher. Things were presented mostly logically, and the writing was clear. The political bent of this book is kinda anti-US, which makes sense, we have committed many atrocities. The book was mostly balanced though. I learned some new things. I remembered some things I once knew. I have a better understanding of the arc of Latin American history, and I feel like it was good preparation for my trip. Overall, a solid introduction to Latin American history. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
This amazingly brief history of Latin America will delight any reader. Fully informed by the latest scholarship, this cleverly written survey spans six centuries & covers twenty countries. John Charles Chasteen presents a compelling narrative of the Latin American experience, animated by stories about men & women from all walks of life, & enriched by insightful analysis. The famous & not so famous characters of Latin America are here: Cortes, Malinche, Moctezuma, Sister Juana Ines de la Cruz, Bolivar, Father Manuel Hidalgo, Juan & Evita Peron, and, of course, Che Guevara. This is a story of despair & hope, the processes of conquest & colonization, race mixing & class construction, revolution & republic formation, & the elusive quests for sustained economic growth & political & social equality. This beautifully written, concise history will be especially valuable for business & recreational travelers on their way to Latin America. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
