`Dazzling. Sweeping. Mind-altering. World-changing. This is a once-in-a-generation contribution` Naomi Klein
`America, América reads at times as the historical equivalent of the great epic novels of Gabriel García Márquez.` Irish Times
The story of the United States` unique identity was forged facing south – no less than Latin America`s was stamped by the colossus to the north.
America, América traverses half a millennium, from the Spanish Conquest to the coups and revolutions of the twentieth century, revealing how the Americas emerged from constant, turbulent engagement with each other. This monumental work of scholarship fundamentally changes our understanding of slavery and racism, the rise of universal humanism, and the role of social democracy in staving off extremism.
Comprehensive and accessible, America, América shows how the United States and Latin America together shaped the laws, institutions and ideals that govern the modern world. Drawing on a vast array of sources, this is a genuinely new history of the Western hemisphere.
