When I was 16 years old I read a book tittled : "Las venas abiertas de America Latina" by Eduardo Galeano ... After more than a decade, it remains as one of the most forcefull books, reavealing dynamics of power and economics in multinational times. This book is very usefull for anybody that would like to understand the shift towards social governments in South America, the adoration of el CHE, or the latest president of Bolivia, as examples of solutions to post-colonialism (not for that being a factual solution).
The intro to the book. Spanish. English (very rough automatic internet translation)
