Memory of Fire: Genesis

"A sweeping account of the Americas from their birth to the present day, the trilogy is at once a rendering of the historical and mythic fabric of the continents, and a resistance againt the genocide of conquests. Galeano tells of the often silenced, including indigenous poets, revolutionaries, inventors, and polemicists, whose contributions form a people's history of the other América."--Back cover of vol. 1.
