[A] marvelous book.”"An impressive combination of scholarship and journalism; Arana’s deep research is enhanced by her insightful interviews with people throughout the continent. There are the illustrations in the Mexican codexes of the brutal reality of colonization. 11:07 pm . “Marie Arana’s monumental, stupendous new history of Latin America, Against the background of a thousand years of vivid history, acclaimed writer Marie Arana tells the timely and timeless stories of three contemporary Latin Americans whose lives represent three driving forces that have shaped the character of the region: exploitation (silver), violence (sword), and religion (stone). Russian artist Roman Booteen (featured previously) continues to create some of the most interesting ‘Hobo nickels‘ we’ve ever seen.In his latest artwork, Booteen engraves a US Silver/Morgan dollar and adds a secret door that is opened by removing the knight’s sword … In Silver, Sword, and Stone, Arana seamlessly weaves these stories with the history of the past … In this masterwork of exploration, connection, and analysis, Arana offers a fresh, gripping, and redefining perspective on a vital and magnificent region betrayed by toxic greed and vicious tyranny.”"The Peruvian-born author delves into the tripartite crux of Latin American exploitation by the Western powers.
This is a long book, and the reason why it’s long is, it covers a lot of territory; from 1492 to the present, for all of Latin America, although the primary focus is on Peru, Bolivia, and Mexico.
Marie Arana’s monumental, stupendous new history of Latin America, Silver Sword, and Stone, is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand this hemisphere and our current crises. Arana’s strength is the power and passion of her storytelling, and her explanation of what has shaped Latin America over the past half-millennium has the ring of truth. “Silver” represents the exploitation of all the riches of Latin America. .

Then you can start reading Kindle books on your smartphone, tablet, or computer - no Kindle device required. Something we hope you'll especially enjoy: If you're a seller, Fulfillment by Amazon can help you grow your business. For anyone interested in understanding—really understanding—what Latin America is and where it comes from, – Juan Gabriel Vásquez, author of The Sound of Things Falling"Peruvian-born author Marie Arana takes us directly to the mysterious and misunderstood center of Latin America in her latest book. We follow Leonor Gonzales' struggle to work gold mines in the Andean cordillera of Peru, the migration of Carlos Buergos from Communist Cuba to the civil war in Angola to the drug wars of American consumer appetites and, finally, Xavier Albó, a modern Jesuit priest ministering to ancient aspirations in Bolivia. . In 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.
