The monolingual Spanish dossier includes all regions and countries of the continent, except for Haiti and Brazil. Covering everything from indigenous peoples to the Conquista, colonial period, and independence struggles, up to the present time of globalization and Bolivarianism, the author incorporates all significant eras into her considerations. Each chapter concludes with an exercise section.
