The history of Latin America has been written principally with a top-down approach that focuses on leaders and the privileged. Hemán Homa brings us a history that centres on the experience of Native Americans, blacks, and the poor, and examines the ongoing projects of identity and unity in Latin America through the lens of ethnicity, culture, politics, and economics, from the ancient cultures of the Mayas, Incas, and Aztecs to the 21st century.

Readings on Latin America and Its People emphasizes the texture of everyday life for men and women, young and old, rich and poor. Volume 2 presents a variety of primary sources from Latin America's modern period, from the independence movements of the 19th century through the present day.
