... of the Portuguese speaking world. However, the larger part is about the African territories: Cabo Verde, Guiné, São Tomé e Príncipe, Angola, and Mozambique. This second edition of the book, as the author says in her preface, is addressed expressly to the Brazilian reader and is dedicated to Brazilian school boys...

..., he is led into a number of unfortunate errors, some minor, others of major proportion. He says, for instance, that Villa was called “Don Pancho” by his followers, which was never true. And he calls Villa “ignorant.” Villa was certainly uneducated, but I doubt if even his enemies considered him...

... of Garcilaso’s books is well known, but no attempt is made to compare the two lists, which are naturally quite different. The dangers of this method (or lack of method) are obvious. Thus the name Procopius appears in both collections, but Acosta says explicitly that he has not read the author. The declared...

... say. Full of enthusiasm, and naïveté, in the beginning the team listened to each recording in groups of three and four. It took a huge amount of time, but we imagined that collective listening would pay off, that the methodology would help us arrive at a common interpretation of the life stories...

Unfortunately, students of Maya hieroglyphics have yet to fully agree upon exactly what that ancient text says. The authors discuss that monument, called Tortuguero Monument 9...

... charges that the Colombian state is weak and irresponsible, because of the individualism of bourgeois-liberalism, but his solution does not rest in caudilloism, marxism, or fascism. What Colombians need to do, he says, is to scrap completely the institutions of their state (most of which are borrowed...

... thirty months were carefully investigated. (In an appendix Kagan lists them in calendar form.) Among the reasons she was arrested was that she had predicted the defeat of the Armada, and she “now says,” the Florentine ambassador reported, “that the king will soon die.” Kagan skillfully depicts...

... catalogues a long list, to speak for themselves. While much of what she says is public knowledge, she writes with an eye for detail, here and there filling in an empty spot in the current picture. Nothing in any of the books modifies prevailing versions of the Mexican Revolution. Nor, despite their title...

... existed since 1945. In the second half, he criticizes the doctrine of power as a basis either for understanding or for practicing international politics.

... Silva Henríquez’s “Initial Response . . .” says much the same thing considerably more gracefully and charitably.
