Children of Cain: Violence and the Violent in Latin America by Tina Rosenberg

gingerreader99's review against another edition

5.0

Fantastic and extremely interesting study on Latin American and personally I did not find one bit of this 'dry' as some of classmates might have. Not much more to say here however as I am putting a much larger amount of effort in an analysis for a class.

I know I didn't get all the way through this book, but that was in no way a negative reflection upon the merits of this fine peice of extended journalism. (Only a negative reflection on my atention span as a reader.) What I did read was intense, well-researched and very well-written, a look into a world of violent inequities. Each chapter focuses on a different nation in Latin America with some representative narrative, examining events and characters, usually with the author tracking down and interviewing key players from past headlines. Almost definitely I book I will be picking up again someday to finish
