I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to gain insight into actions undertaken by America's governmental apparatus on other nations.  Latin America $55.00 A hymn to beauty, Latin America celebrates the profound and incredibly diverse South American continent and its neighboring islands in all their color and gaiety. This title presents in a large format the richest images from photographer Olivier Fllmis travels through many countries, including Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, Brazil, Equador, the Amazon, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. The book begins with a reference text by Uruguayan author Juan Carlos Mondragn and ends with a more intimate text by the photographer himself. Virginie de Borchgrave, a specialist in Latin American culture, has written the extremely detailed captions that illuminate each photograph. The first book to exhibit South American culture in all its glory, Latin America is a living fresco, a tribute to a continent that has inspired the imagination for generations.  Politics of Latin America: The Power Game $49.95 I can think of no other text that explains politics in Latin America better. The authors provide an outstanding review of history, culture, religion and revolution in Latin America. Moreover, the research of Guatemala, Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua, Argentina, Chile and Brazil by assorted scholars in part two of the text is excellent. Anyone who wants a deeper understanding of Latin America must read this book. |
