Description:... Far from being a footnote in Latin American history, Indians form the structure upon which Latin American history is based. More than ten million Indians were organized into many complex cultures and societies thousands of years before Europeans reached their hemisphere. In The Indian in Latin American History, Professor John E. Kicza compiles articles by leading historians and anthropologists to examine the complex interplay of Indian and Western cultures. The ten articles in this work explore Indian-Western relations from initial contact to contemporary struggles for cultural identity.
