In this compelling text, authors Mark A. Burkholder, Lyman L. Johnson, and Monica A. Rankin tell the story of more than 500 years of Latin American history through the themes of exploitation, inequality, and resistance. Balancing an examination of different forms of exploitation with discussions of active and passive resistance, Exploitation, Inequality, and Resistance emphasizes these themes and analyzes the ways in which events throughout Latin America's history continue to resonate today.
