An excellent historical overview of Latin America. The performance is pretty good as well as the pronunciation of Spanish names and locations is passable, not nearly as rough as many other audiobooks on this topic. Overall I recommend this title

Phenomenal place to start to understand Latin America

I enjoyed the book and the contemporary history was spot on. I thought it lacked on some racial analysis throughout, however.

I think I found a new book for my syllabus

Hidden gem

Textbook covering Latin America from pre colonial times to 2010’s. Includes vocabulary and study questions. Uses Brazil for many examples.

The thoroughness

I found the book easy to listen to. I’m going on vacation to Guatemala and wanted to learn more about the history of Latin America. In the end the book served that purpose. Next a more in depth understanding of individual countries.

Good overview

I found this audiobook very helpful in developing both a comprehensive and individualized
country by country, understanding, of Latin America post European conquest. The historical narrative outlines major events and trends of the 500+ years since that time. The political perspectives are sanguine, and not always what we learned in school growing up in the United States over the past decades, I will probably listen to this once or twice more. The content was first rate and the narration was outstanding.

A Great Introduction to Latin America Post 1st Contact

Both well performed and written, this book may not be considered unbiased by some but after learning history that was intentionally avoided in my school I suppose its impossible not to feel a bit shocked. Everything was well organized and relevant. I can't say I'd change anything. It gave a lot of information that overlapped with other things I've read lately so now I'm looking forward to reading Open Veins of Latin America as well as several others. I appreciate the narrator a lot as well. He did the reading for another book I listened to and he manages to keep the tone serious without sounding bored, which I think is very hard to do.

Excellent synopsis of a very broad history.

Enjoyed the book and learned a lot of history. But it is so overboard leftist, at a certain point it becomes political. Also not sure that blaming the US for all neo-colonial mishaps is appropriate - the local folks in Latin America had a lot to do with their own juntas and poverty.

Interesting but VERY left leaning
