Close Encounters of Empire: Writing the Cultural History of U. S. -Latin American Relations
I really liked this, even when I chose to skim read some parts. If ever you have taken a true family vacation, as parent or child, then I imagine you will find some humor and some fascinating facts in here. Parts of it rang true to my experiences. Parts made me sad to know how many years racial and religious discrimination endured and the absurd lengths some families needed to go to for vacation. Add it to your list today.
