British and American soldiers, naval officers, mining engineers, merchants, businessmen and wealthy travellers flocked to the countries of Latin America following their independence from Spain and Portugal. Most such travellers were entirely ignorant of the continent and expected instant success: easy money, the cheap acquisition of fertile land, military glory or vast mineral wealth. Few of them realized their ambitions, for the overthrow of the old regimes had not brought peace, liberalism and the social conditions in which foreign investment could thrive. To their shock and disgust, they encountered the same civil strife, corruption, squalor and "barbarism", religious intolerance and petty jealousies that had prevailed in earlier centuries. The experiences of these travellers, as noted in their diaries, journals and letters, are presented in this book. It should be of interest to modern-day travellers as well as to historians and students of Latin America. A strength of the book is its coverage of political, business and civilian history as well as military life, throughout the continent.

A sweeping history of the Latino experience in the United States- thoroughly revised and updated. The first new edition in ten years of this important study of Latinos in U.S. history, Harvest of Empire spans five centuries-from the first New World colonies to the first decade of the new millennium. Latinos are now the largest minority group in the United States, and their impact on American popular culture-from food to entertainment to literature-is greater than ever. Featuring family portraits of real- life immigrant Latino pioneers, as well as accounts of the events and conditions that compelled them to leave their homelands, Harvest of Empire is required reading for anyone wishing to understand the history and legacy of this increasingly influential group.

A year after his divorce, Jayojit Chatterjee, an economics professor in the American Midwest, travels to his native Calcutta with his young son, Bonny, to spend the summer holidays with his parents. Jayojit is no more accustomed to spending time alone with Bonny–who lives with his mother in California–than he is with the Admiral and his wife, whose daily rhythms have become so synchronized as to become completely foreign to their son. Together, the unlikely foursome struggles to pass the protracted hours of summer, each in his or her own way mourning Jayojit’s failed marriage. And as Jayojit walks the bustling streets of Calcutta, he finds himself not only caught between clashing memories of India and America, but also between different versions of his life, revisiting lost opportunity, realized potential, and lingering desire. As he did in his acclaimed trilogy Freedom Song, Amit Chaudhuri lovingly captures life’s every detail on the page while infusing the quiet interactions of daily existence with depth and compassion.

leo Hurston awakens from a reoccurring nightmare-one that visits her the same time each year. Though ostensibly human, Cleo is a phaser, born with additional DNA that will someday provide her with animal abilities. (There exist four kinds of phasers: L, A, R, and D, Lion, Ape, Reptile, and Dolphin phasing Factions.) With her 21st birthday fast approaching, it's abnormal that Cleo has yet to phase, and she feels like the clan's biggest outcast. Plagued by a physical birth defect, Evey Finch understands what it's like to be ostracized, and always offers moral support. Having organized a surprise party for her friend, Evey persuades Cleo to take the train to a 1 percenter (i.e. human) club. On their way from the I.A. (Integrated Animal) Orphanage, Cleo meets a handsome 1 percenter named Talan Johnson, and overtaken by attraction, begins to flirt with him-much to the chagrin of Evey, who understands the gravity of such an act. Besides being dangerous, it's criminal for phasers to mingle this way. After parting with Talan, Cleo is fully surprised by her party-and equally dismayed as an introvert. To make matters worse, the Phasing World's golden boy, Von Hartmann, is also present. Being prince, Von has often tried to seduce Cleo, who has little interest in being future queen. Feeling uncomfortable, Cleo excuses herself from the event, and witnesses a robbery taking place outside. Falling back on her combat training, Cleo lends assistance but gets stabbed in the process. Before losing consciousness, she realizes that the victim was none other than the 1 percenter from before. Cleo wakes up in a hospital bed, with a doting Talan at her side, but their conversation is interrupted when Von and an entourage of thugs storm in to interrogate Cleo about her conduct. Evidently, the Tier elders have come to a unanimous decision: Cleo will either marry Von, thus staying out of trouble . . . or receive "the cure" (a euphemism for the death sentence). As an orphan, Cleo has no one to help her resolve this impossible decision.
