Title: Macro-history
Product review: Anyone attempting a systematic study of Spanish Colonialism, and in particular in the Americas, would do well in reading this macro-history.Macro-history is chronologically expansive, an over-view, tripping through centuries to culminate around thematic matrixes, for those of us who've never finished reading one (admittedly me). Paul Johnson's Birth of the Modern is another good example of macro-history, though I have only referenced the same.Reading macro-histories, cover to cover, does give one a birds-eye view that allows you to think widely, laterally, before jumping headlong into profound ideas. Refreshingly satisfying was Truxillo's By the Sword and the Cross. It will serve very aptly for my Menéndez project.
