The history of Latino culture in the Americas is much bigger and broader than we often realize. In this place, where the Old World and the New clashed and merged in spectacular fashion over the course of several centuries, we see a microcosm of world history with all its facets and complexities.

In the six lectures of Great Figures of Latino Heritage, art historian and anthropologist Dr. Khristin Montes will introduce you to many of the people that have shaped Latino culture and identity on scales both global and local. Your journey begins with the great empires of the Aztecs and the Inka in pre-Colombian Latin America and continues through the centuries to arrive in the political and social realities of the 21st century. You will meet emperors and laborers, revolutionaries and artists, organizers and athletes—influential and fascinating people from all walks of life that created, inspired, and reshaped the Americas as we know them today. Some of those you will meet include:

  • The emperors Motecuhzoma II (“Montezuma”) of the Aztecs and Atahualpa of the Inka, as well as Malinzin or “La Malinche”—the slave girl who helped bring down an empire.
  • Revolutionaries and military leaders including Simon Bolivar, Emiliano Zapata Salazar, and Manuela Sáenz.
  • World-renowned artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.
  • Labor and human rights activists including Cesar Chavez, Rodolfo Gonzales, and Dolores Huerta.
  • Contemporary political and community organizers such as Sophie Cruz, Faith Florez, and Ramon Contreras.

As you meet these figures and others and witness their impact, you’ll see that Latino history, like all history, is not merely a static recording of the past. Rather, it is a rich and diverse narrative that is still being written.

I enjoyed the whole work. Worth a listen to understand just how South America became to be.

Wonderful start for anyone wanted more understanding of South America and Latinos

I enjoyed this history. It's hard to fit all the Latino history into one sitting as we are so many from various regions. So a lot of people and happenings were left out. However, I find it particularly disturbing to call a gay man from an era when "queer" was absolutely a slur, and who died of AIDS at that, "queer."

Mostly a good read

The pronunciation of names was so distracting! While the stories are powerful and informative, her pronunciation of indigenous and Spanish names is rough

Excellent stories

I've never heard this much Latino history all in one place, and that's my own fault, but now I can see I have much much more to learn than just Diego Rivera and Frieda Kahlo. I appreciate this lecture so much.

The ONLY criticism is that the recording makes the voice sound so dry--i found myself gulping water just listening.

Latino heritage is full of powerful people

The narrator, a professor of anthropology and mezoamerican history continually mispronounced key historical figures name.

great historical facts

...a nice novel to fall asleep too. I did enjoy the different regions but overall wouldn't recommend unless it was free.

Can always count on...
