银、剑、石：拉丁美洲的三重烙印
(us) Mary Alana
In Silver, Sword, Stone, Peruvian writer Marie Arana uses rich historical materials and solid documentary writing to seamlessly weave the stories of three contemporary Latin Americans with the history of Latin America over the past millennium, thereby illuminating three enduring themes that have defined Latin America from pre-Columbian times to the present: the endless demands for resources from the outside (silver), the lingering shadow of violence (sword), and deep-rooted religious beliefs (stone). Connecting history and reality, and putting aside the "winner's perspective", Alana tries to explore the "nature" established by the unique experience of Latin America and outline the identity, mentality and destiny of the people on this land.
