Beschreibung

This book explores 2,000 years of Latin American history through the words of the writer, the brush of the painter, the pen of the cartoonist, and the lens of the photographer. The interdisciplinary approach to Latin America focuses on the way the region has related to the United States.

Portrait

Jack Child is professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at American University. He was born of American parents in Argentina and lived in South America for eighteen years, coming to the United States to attend Yale University. After graduation from Yale, he served twenty years in the U.S. Army as a Latin American specialist, retiring as a lieutenant colonel. His courses at American University include a general education offering, "Latin America: History, Art, Literature," and this book was originally written as a text for that course.
