America, América

Zusatztext

Grandin reveals how the Americas emerged from constant, turbulent engagement with each other. It traverses half a millennium, from the Spanish Conquest through the eighteenth-century wars for independence and the Monroe Doctrine, to the coups and revolutions of the twentieth century. This monumental work of scholarship fundamentally changes our understanding of Spanish and English colonialism, slavery and racism, and the role of social democracy in staving off authoritarian impulses.
