I read this for a Spanish class. Probably why I didn't really enjoy it.

La forma de entendernos como comunidad Latinoamericana de Fuentes, a través de la historia, la política y mucho arte, esta enfocada suavemente en una teoría sociológica clara y orgullosa. Precioso!

This books does a good job of painting a picture for me the world of Spain and Latinoamerica in a way that I didn’t really get to learn in school or avoided because it seemed depressing. It is a history book that focuses more on the concepts rather than the dates, making it much more enjoyable to read although there were definitely some parts that were slow for me. The epilogue gives a good explanation of latinoamerica’s trajectory through history and what it needs to do now to succeed and become what it should be.

Fuentes has done a wonderful job capturing the history of Spain and the New World. It contains a plethora of information and offers many other texts to review as references. I highly recommend reading, but only if you are wanting to learn about a long and tumultuous history. It can be boring, but it can be interesting.
