Silver, Sword, and Stone [electronic resource] : Three Crucibles in the Latin American Story/ Arana, Marie.

Electronic book.

-- Longlisted for the 2020 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence -- Silver, Sword, and Stone Marie Arana seamlessly weaves these stories with the history of the past millennium to explain three enduring themes that have defined Latin America since pre-Columbian times: the foreign greed for its mineral riches, an ingrained propensity to violence, and the abiding power of religion. What emerges is a vibrant portrait of a people whose lives are increasingly intertwined with our own.
