@leftistsquidward: Replying to @Carla Quintela the most important Latin American book I’ve read 🇺🇾 #BookTok #booktokespañol #books #BookRecommendations #eduardogaleano #openveinsoflatinamerica #lasvenasabiertadeamericalatina
This book is good but it’s upsetting to read at times and painful. Even in the most poetic way it’s sad to understand how we have been exploited

Galeano denounced and disavowed his work in 2014 shortly before dying in 2015.

Galeano al final de su vida de arrepintió de escribir ese libro y se justificó diciendo que era joven y no sabía lo que hacía, no le gustaba su pieza de propaganda

Have you read Jakarta Method? it's more global but has chapters on similar mistreatment of the continent.

That book is definitely mind blowing and makes it really hard to look at the west in a positive light anymore

Sounds like a very interesting bug but with my ADHD I can barely stay put for at least four minutes reading and this looks like a very dense book.

A milestone of a book. Amazing. Do try Laberinto de la Soledad by Octavio Paz. It will floor you for all the right reasons 😬

oh please, we had to read it in highschool it is a litany of complaints. It doesn't give solutions and he never wrote anything of significance again.

Fantastic book! Can get a bit dense towards the end when he’s describing the mechanisms of US foreign aid & investment but that part is perhaps …

God sake the author claims that this book is a lie written when he was so young to understand the economy.

Hey I don’t know if you can help me. But I’m really having a hard time finding fantasy, romantic maybe even queer books. Written originally in Spanish
