Resumen del Editor

Welcome to John Leguizamo’s hilarious and educational take on 3,000 years of Latin history in 80 minutes.

When his son gets a school assignment on heroes, John seizes the chance to teach him all about the great figures of Latin American history. But once he sets out on his irreverent crash course across three continents and three millennia of history—from conquistadores to cumbia, Montezuma to Menudo, and taking on the characters in all of it—he uncovers provocative truths that shock even him.

Entertainment Weekly called Latin History for Morons “boisterous and joyful” during its Broadway run at Studio 54, directed by Tony Taccone. A play that The New York Times says “poses sharp and timely questions of what culturally defines American identity,” Leguizamo’s newest solo adventure is educational and uproarious and is adapted exclusively for Audible.

Please Note: Latin History for Morons contains adult language.

Incredible

Great storytelling and presentation. Fascinating history succinctly presented and sandwiched into an entertaining anecdote. 10/10 will recommend.

Fun and interesting listen

I love John Leguizamo and am used to his antics in acting all manners of crazy but this was just okay for me. I understand the importance of where he is going and if this story is actually true, it makes it even better but I felt like some of the narration was over the top or a bit disconnected. I love the ending and overall enjoyed this short story though

Whaaaaaat!?!

70 years I've been on this planet and I never knew the majority of what was brought out here, probably because I'm a white guy that grew up in the southwest... Yeah, I'm the moron that needed this in the worst way! Thank you... I needed that!

Very entertaining, not very informative

I really enjoyed this. John Leguizamo is an excellent actor and he’s so fun to listen to.
But as for the actual content, it wasn’t very informative or “historical”, but rather more personal. Not that that’s bad, just not what I thought it would be. I actually would like to listen to a Latin history audiobook, I think that would be very interesting.

Phqu

This is a great story & would be worth five overall stars if he'd quit going for the cheap laughs by over using the "Phqu" word.., he's smarter than that & does himself a disservice by patronizing us white folks by playing a fool...
