Summary
This book provides a general history of Latin America in the period between the European conquest and the independence of the Spanish American countries and Brazil (approximately 1492 to 1825). It is both an introduction for the student at the college level and a provisionally updated synthesis of the quickly changing field for the more experienced reader.
