Title: Silly little book
Review: This book is silly, silly. It has an obvious agenda, one that overtly perpetuates "la leyenda negra" (the black legend). Also, if so many Latin Americans are going to express such anti-European (Spain) sentiments, then why do they call themselves "Latino?" The Latins (Latinos) are those from Latin Europe (Italy, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Southern France) - if so many Latin Americans feel so "anti-European" then why not come up with another name for themselves?For an "actual," "balanced" history of Latin America, read Donghi's book... "A Contemporary History of Latin America."
