A useful political and cultural history of Central and South America, covering 500 years from what is somewhat anachronistically styled as Discovery through the 20th century. Beginning with the Spanish conquest of the continent, the work tackles questions of empire, colonialism and nationalism. Williamson offers a balanced, clear overview with detailed chapters on Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Cuba.
