The open veins of Latin America

Bibliographic review:

Starting this analysis of the book where it refers to the economic, social, cultural and historical and, farms that lead to exposed in Latin America, thus gives rise to the publication of the book in 1971 having the formation of 379 pages and being beingPrimordial point The author and leader of that work Eduardo Galiano where he was born in Uruguay in 1940 one of the most outstanding people in literature as his life led to distinguish himself for being one of the most represented journalist, a writer where his books have been successfullyMargin of a successful rebellion with the translation of several languages, thus, his works were highlighted not only by reviews but also gave way to fiction, documentaries and the experiences he has had without a doubt is one of the most prominent literary writers in Latin America havingAs more orders, fire memory in 1986 and the open veins of Latin America .

This book was written to give way to the revelation of the story told clearly and as the coexistence and social realities suffered daily by the battered peoples. Eduardo speaks of the book with transparency and makes known as Latin America suffered many overthrows in real life where the history of our peoples generates the contravention of reality that is not known as such.

Political context

Taking into account the political regime we announce that the author lives, the events coexist as he is going to develop and use the story, so that the author gives his point of view according to the event that is generated in the process of theHistory.

Undoubtedly, the political context should be comforted to reconforts the most outstanding parts, then as it is so, it is announced from the discovery of America where it undoubtedly refers to the attacks and oppressions that the Spaniards had to ourpeoples being a massive overthrow with the powerful aggressiveness where, together with the abuse of their wealth, considering the slaves of the Spaniards where the king exclaim .

Thus, the conquest of Latin America by the Spanish Empire left death, destruction, theft of wealth and resources that were within the area, and where they stripped them of their lands with a brutal extinction of their culture, their culture,Eliminating their way of worshiping a divinity and imposing yours which was to believe in a God, although our people already had advanced knowledge of medicine and agriculture did not have an apply knowledge of weapons and with that comes the acquisition of all belongingsNo difficulty from the conquerors . In a review of the book, the thoughts of the Spaniards come to light where they dismembered all their actions to the Indians making them see how an animal putting them inferior to all the things where they had to be subjected to slavery, they were told that they had no soul isSo they compared them with beasts where they did not have the ability to think about doing as a plant or an object without any value.

Thus, it gives way to colonization where Spanish undoubtedly after being taken over in Latin American wealth began to expand the Indians to the old world where workers were marginalized, but at the same time they were indispensable for planting work,Mines called them animals or meaningless articles to have them as a demigration and make them less attentive to society, so it was believed that the Spaniards tried to get to know the culture that existed in Latin America, however there was a mescla of cultures and bloodThat there is a racial shock where the rulers with the easiest tactics the rape begins new races, which was completely denied because the Spanish only wanted a use but not having a mescla of blood.

Thus, we can say that the conquest began clash of cultures between natives and colonizers taken into account that Galianinequality and submission to death with this I emphasize that apart from knowing more deeply the reader’s feelings want to make us understand our people’s resistance so as not to be dominated .

Cultural context

In my view when describing the literary movements of the work, it cannot be recognized with the said certainty that the book makes known about the literary and critical thinking of each author, could not reach a totality of messages bythe severity of reprisals that the State came to rule to these.

Thus, when making known the culture, it is handled hand inA prominent point was the education for the residents where the author expresses the indignation of the people by not obtaining the benefits as education when this point was seen, they did not express themselves to the discontent that they lived daily by the mandate dictated by supreme as they called it being soThe members of the community corresponding to servants, slaves had to silence their thoughts or acts that did not deserve to be injured .

Thus being the clearest custom found in the book was obedience that the plebeians for the king so that if any slave came to have any acquisition as land, sowing all these were removed to give the superiors and with this same owned propertyThey had to support the work of the slave where all the profits or fruits would be for the high castes.

Economy reality

In this part of the book not only opens the economic stability that was had at this time but also to the great demands, frauds and traps that had only for the only benefit that he was from the crown and the Spanish king, with thisIt makes them known that America was very fruitful not only in the fields of the countryWhen colon arrives and finds not only minerals but also gold indicates to the Spanish crown that they have an economically salvation for salvation by calling themselves heroes for this event they carried out, without having a knowledge of the denigrating value to our peoples, they seized almostAll with a single fruit for us the deaths of millions of Indians .

In the book it is known about the famous Potosi where the Spaniards give him an incomparated place calling the silver source in America being the knowledge of the Spaniards begin to waste the silver in the other continent not only with the progress of the cities but The beginning of the construction of temples, churches and giving way to the quieter life with a wealth assured in our lands, with the greed there was not only the architecture already solved if the fun is not given through parties through parties the amount of liquor and the spill of riches that Potosí gave for these Spaniards, it makes known the striking and important aspect of sugar with what was called with a fruit that would solve not only the economy but also to the life of the superiors carries with it the Knowledge of this plant Cristóbal Colon on Cañarin Island where it generates plantations not only in Europe, Spain but also extends to northern America giving another source of former ex Plotation for the Indians having the duty to cultivate and care for this plant called the money cane. And for me with the last point, it was economically the rubber where the Spaniards, like the sugar without knowledge, give way by observing all the materials made with that element where it also manifests the one carried out for the knowledge of this article to the Old World.

In an observation I can note that the New World was conquered for gold and silver as a primary aspect, but with this overthrow the conquerors get to know the new materials, plants, articles that came to have great value is so that our peoples do notWe were useless without knowledge as they called us, we knew and had many weapons to strengthen our lives with this I mean that Latin America incomparably helped the old world to have the solvent that they now have.
