Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America by Juan González

4.0

Incredibly difficult history to swallow, especially if you're from or claim your south american heritage. This was an eye opener, if not a vital book for all hispanic people to read. NONE of this was ever covered in schools in the USA, and I feel my already engorged resentment for this racist country grow with more power in knowledge. I'm also thankful it dives into anti-blackness in hispanic cultures, although some of the worded choices were vaguely anti-black itself, which brings it down from 5 stars.
