Recommendation
Journalist and historian Marie Arana embeds you with Spanish conquistadors who searched for silver and gold in the Americas – a quest that spurred mass slaughter and enslavement. Today, international companies and scrappy, long-suffering miners still seek precious metals in that soil. This search – and the exploitation and violence it wrought – informs Latin America’s identity. Arana anchors the region’s economy and politics in its majestic and tragic thousand-year history.
