Open Veins of Latin America Analysis

Ep. 6
•

I talk about Eduardo Galeanos book, and deliver a more serious episode than my previous ones. This episode is meant to be serious, and it is from the heart. I may come off as preachy, but some history should not be taken lightly, nor should aspects of history be silenced in any way. Galeanos book is very serious, and I hope he would appreciate the way I analyzed it, and spoke on what he wrote about.
