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. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"This history of Latin America will delight any reader. Fully informed by the latest scholarship, this survey spans six centuries and covers twenty countries. John Charles Chasteen presents a narrative of the Latin American experience, animated by stories about men and women from all walks of life, and enriched by insightful analysis. The famous and not so famous characters of Latin America are here: Cortes, Malinche, Moctezuma, Sister Juana Ines de la Cruz, Bolivar, Father Manuel Hidalgo, Juan and Eva Peron, and, of course, Che Guevara. This is a story of despair and hope, the processes of conquest and colonization, race mixing and class construction, revolution and republic formation, and the elusive quests for sustained economic growth and political and social equality."--Jacket.
