From the esteemed New Yorker correspondent comes an incisive
volume of essays and reportage that vividly illuminates Latin
America’s recent history. Only Alma Guillermoprieto, the most
highly regarded writer on the region, could unravel the complex
threads of Colombia’s cocaine wars or assess the combination of
despotism, charm, and political jiu-jitsu that has kept Fidel
Castro in power for more than 40 years. And no one else can write
with such acumen and sympathy about statesmen and campesinos,
leftist revolutionaries and right-wing militias, and political
figures from Evita Peron to Mexico’s irrepressible president,
Vicente Fox.
Whether she is following the historic papal visit to Havana or
staying awake for a pre-dawn interview with an insomniac
Subcomandante Marcos, Guillermoprieto displays both the passion and
knowledge of an insider and the perspective of a seasoned analyst.
Looking for History is journalism in the finest traditions of Joan
Didion, V. S. Naipaul, and Ryszard Kapucinski: observant,
empathetic, and beautifully written.
