Fascinating anthropolgic approach to Latin America

Dr. Hansis manages to evaluate the role of all involved with the development of Latin America. Rather than adhere to the strict European version of history, Hansis incorporates the methodology behind several historical disciplines. This structure allows the reader to comprehend the myriad of roles played by indigens as well as Europeans in the creation of modern day Latin America. A great text for anyone interested in gaining knowledge about the region.
