About this listen
The Savage Frontier is a book written with courage and dazzling lucidity. One of the best I've ever read." Víctor Hugo Morales
Fifty years after the publication of How to Read Donald Duck, I am pleased to read a book like The Wild Frontier that explores in detail the less subtle ways in which the United States, for two hundred years, has sought to influence and distort the destiny of our Latin America." Ariel Dorfman
The Wild Frontier is not only a journey through the most important events of the last two hundred years that marked the expansion of the Thirteen Colonies over the Indigenous nations and over that vast territory we now call Latin America but also the revelation of the logic of their endless wars, of their expansion, and their systematic interventions, direct or secret, in the diverse peoples of the South. These military, economic, political, and narrative practices were the beginning and the continuation of Washington’s imperialism in the rest of the world. These practices and narratives (based on the economic interests of those at the top and the fanaticism instilled in those at the bottom) were the beginning and continuation of American imperialism in the rest of the world, always under other names and excuses. That deep past, as at other moments in history, explains the present and predicts the future of the world superpower. It explains the rise and fall of capitalism and the last Anglo-Saxon empire, like any other empire, based on violence in the name of peace.
