'Dazzling. Mind-altering. World-changing.A once-in-a-generation
contribution' NAOMI KLEIN'Sweeping and provocative...
groundbreaking' AMITAV GHOSH'Will transform your understanding of
the modern world' JONATHAN KENNEDYFrom a Pulitzer Prize-winning
historian comes the first definitive history of the Western
hemisphere, a sweeping five-century narrative of North and South
America that redefines our understanding of both continents.The
story of the United States' unique sense of itself was forged
facing south - no less than Latin America's was indelibly stamped
by the looming colossus to the north.In this stunningly original
reinterpretation of the New World, Professor Greg Grandin reveals
how the Americas emerged from constant, turbulent engagement with
each other, shedding new light on well-known historical figures
like Bartolome de las Casas, Simon Bolivar and Woodrow Wilson, as
well as lesser-known actors such as the Venezuelan Francisco de
Miranda, who almost lost his head in the French Revolution and
conspired with Alexander Hamilton to free America from
Spain.America, America traverses half a millennium, from the
Spanish Conquest - the greatest mortality event in human history -
through the eighteenth-century wars for independence and the Monroe
Doctrine, to the coups and revolutions of the twentieth century.
This monumental work of scholarship fundamentally changes our
understanding of Spanish and English colonialism, slavery and
racism, the rise of universal humanism, and the role of social
democracy in staving off authoritarian impulses.At once
comprehensive and accessible, America, America shows how the United
States and Latin America together shaped the laws, institutions,
and ideals that govern the modern world.Drawing on a vast array of
sources, and told with authority and flair, this is a genuinely new
history of the New World.'Masterful and erudite yet absolutely
riveting' ADA FERRER'A major and desperately needed synthesis of
the Americas' NED BLACKHAWK'An awe-inspiring masterpiece' SAMUEL
MOYN* Professor Greg Grandin won the Pulitzer Prize for Non-fiction
in 2020 with his book The End of the Myth.
