Always a relevant read, but it feels especially so considering the current moment with the assassination of Moïse in Haiti and calls for regime change in Cuba. Something I appreciate about Grandin is that, in this book and The End of the Myth, he really makes clear how interconnected and inseparable the history of the US is from the history of all the Americas. ? 4.5/5 ?
