La Guerra Del ‘47 Y La Resistencia Popular A La Occupacion En Mexico

In 1847, war broke out between the United States and the young Mexican republic, a conflict that saw Mexico lose half of its territory to its northern neighbor. By examining this painful history, the author invites readers to reflect on current day struggles of the peoples of Latin America against US imperialist domination.
