Review # 1 was written on 2018-02-08 00:00:00 Main Lao This is an in-depth sociological study of modern Latino attitudes about identity, nationalism, government, societal norms, violence and justice. The author is speaking from a progressive and liberal position and his anti-American views do seep in at times. While I do not agree with his stand but I respect his opinion.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-02-08 00:00:00 Fernando Reyes A beautiful heartfelt story that takes you to a place in time during Spanish colonization in Mexico where a Spanish priest listens to the last confession of an old Aztec woman by the name of Hummingbird. In this book you’ll be shown the suffering and the fall of the Aztec empire through Hummingbird’s eyes while also seeing a friendship between the Priest and the Aztec woman build. Not only is this a must read for all those of Mexican decent like me, but I would highly encourage and recommend for everyone to read this book. If we could all open our minds and hearts to see the suffering of other people through their eyes, we can defeat ignorance and hate. This book will inspire understanding and love.
