North America is totally blind

Open your eyes to the real world

And stop stealing resources from the rest of the world

I'm almost done with 'Open Veins..' and what a great book about the pillage and exploitation of the Americas. I highly recommend it to everyone!! And I look forward to reading some of Mr. Galeano's other books.

That term, "the cult of impotence" was also used as a book title by Canadian investigative journalist Linda McQuaig. It's subtitle: Selling the Myth of Powerlessness in the Global Economy. We are not so powerless, as the powers that be would have us think. If only we'd band together & work for positive change so that there may be a future. It's up to us people

I'm an european descendent! But I was born and raised in South America. This is where my heart belongs.

[fede788]

Excelente! Galeano es increible...

[IMPREARTECADIZ]

Sr. Con toods los respetos Latinoamerica solo existe despectivamente en los Eeuu, ya que allí "conviven" casi todas las lenguas del Latin. El resto de America habla Español o Portugues, por lo que lo mas correcto para el resto de America seria denominarnos orgullosamente Hispanoamericano o Iberoamericano.
