Latin America Fights Back

Latinx Heritage Month, which spans September 15 through October 15, "celebrates the cultural contributions of Americans whose families originated from Mexico, Central America, South American and the Spanish-speaking nations of the Caribbean," according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

But Latinx History is inextricably linked to both the fight for the liberation of indigenous peoples and the need to defend Latin American nations' sovereignty against oppressive violence perpetrated by the United States. Below, you'll find a selection of books related to this perpetual struggle for independence rooted in equality and justice for all.
