Besides being a college textbook, it is a sincere work of history. It reads easily and the authors avoid pedantry, technical jargon, overblown equations, and complicated diagrams or charts. Included charts and diagrams are comprehensible at a glance. Maps and figures are placed at the discussion material. I noticed no typos, grammar errors, misspellings, or other editorial slipups. The "abbreviated" bibliography is extensive.
In my rating systems, 3 is for a solid book. So 3.5 stars means it has a wealth of pertinent information, the analysis is good, the book is a good quality, BUT it is a bit dry. Although I didn't necessarily enjoy the book, I learned quite a bit. If I had to pick one book or a first book on early Latin America, this would be it.½
