The Latin American continent unites twenty countries and 9% of the world's inhabitants, the culture of the Mayan civilization and the legacy of European colonization. Often overshadowed by Europe, Latin America nevertheless boasts its own heroes: liberator Simon Bolivar, revolutionary Che Guevara, famous artist Frida Kahlo and many others. American explorer John Chastin introduces us to the turbulent history of a unique continent, from the first ships of Europeans to contemporary political intrigue. Interweaving social, cultural, and environmental history, Chastin creates a vivid portrait of Latin America, with its rainforests and favelas, Amazon and Andes, carnivals and Day of the Dead. From the book you will learn what happened to the Aztec and Inca civilizations, how slavery was formed on the continent, and what challenges modern Latin American countries face. John Chastin opens us up to the world of Latin America with its contradictions and distinctive flavor. "To understand Latin America, you have to understand its history. That's what this book is all about" (John Chastin).
