Unique among textbooks, Sobre Las Culturas Y Civilizaciones
Latinoamericanas not only describes the history of Latin America,
it sets a mood that allows the reader to get real sense of the
languages, cultures, and civilizations that comprise this complex
and colorful land. It provides an account of how Columbus's voyages
gave rise to utopian dreams, the ramifications of which led to a
brilliant display of hybrid cultures, changed the ethnic
composition of two continents, accelerated lines of commerce, and
refashioned the Western World's diet. After discussing the
topographical features and ethnic composition of Latin America,
author Floyd Merrell takes the reader through the "discovery,"
conquest, and colonization of the New World and on to independence
and the national period. In the process, he recreates the mood of
Latin America with the idea that this will help the reader gain
insight into the hopes and fears, as well as the joys and sorrows,
of an industrious but long-suffering people. Added features of this
textbook are the lists of general concepts, important terms,
questions, and topics for classroom debate that accompany each
chapter. Comprehensive in scope and compelling in its approach,
this text chronicles the history of an important region in a way
that will excite students and teachers alike. (TEXT IN SPANISH)
