About This Item
Monthly Review Press, 1997. Soft cover. As New/No Jacket. Monthly Review Press, 1997. Trade Paperback As New. Foreword by Isabel Allende. An outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx--from back of book. Galeano has organized the various factors of Latin American history according to the five centuries of exploitation. Natural resources--such as gold, coffee, and copper--are the veins which he traces through the body of the entire continent, up to the Rio Grande, and throughout the Caribbean, and all the way to where they empty into the coffers of the wealth in the United States and Europe. 317 pages, References and Index. 8vo. 1997, Monthly Review Press.
