360 pagesOpen Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent by Eduardo Galeano, translated by Cedric Belfrage, New Introduction by Isabel Allende
Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx.
