Latin America History
About This Novel
"A History of Latin America" is Professor Hutton Webster's important attempt to apply anthropological theory to historical research. It is a general history with complete content and a novel perspective. This book tells about the Indian Age, the Age of Discovery, the Colonial Era, the War of Independence and the Republican Era in Latin America. What was the Indian civilization like before Christopher Columbus discovered the New World? How did Spain and Portugal peacefully divide Latin America? How did Spain and Portugal effectively rule their Latin American colonies? What is the relationship between Enlightenment thought, the French Revolution, the War of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies in North America, and the War of Independence in Latin America? Although Latin American countries entered the republican era after independence, why did they not usher in peace? How did the Monroe Doctrine affect Latin America? This book will explain them one by one.

A relatively simple introduction to Latin American history, lacking coverage from the 20th century to the present.
