The three editors of this work have created an essential textbook for students and teachers of the history of Latin America. The book is arranged chronologically in 26 chapters, each containing an introductory timeline, an exemplary primary source, and up-to-date suggestions for further reading. It includes an epilogue, glossary, and engaging maps and images to help students. As the preface explains, this textbook has three key themes: Iberian institutions, identity, and the global context. Significantly, it focuses on the exploitations that developed in Latin America from the start of the colonial period, and the ways in which they created the structural inequalities that are still part of the story of Latin America today.

这项工作的三位编辑为拉丁美洲历史的学生和教师编写了一本必不可少的教科书。本书按时间顺序分为 26 章，每章都包含一个介绍性时间表、一个示例性的主要来源和最新的进一步阅读建议。它包括结语、词汇表以及引人入胜的地图和图像，以帮助学生。正如前言所解释的，这本教科书具有三个关键主题：伊比利亚制度、身份认同和全球背景。重要的是，它着重于从殖民时期开始在拉丁美洲发展起来的剥削，以及它们造成结构性不平等的方式，这些不平等仍然是当今拉丁美洲故事的一部分。
