That is too bad. We don't pay much attention to Latin American history here in Anglo America. In school, we read about the Aztecs and Incas in the most superficial way, then fast forward to Bolivar, then spend more time on the Alamo than any other part of Mexican history. Its a shame, because there's so much rich history both pre-Colombian and during colonial and post-colonial times. Then we read about Chavez and Morales in the paper and wonder why they would elect socialists, with no respect for history whatever.
