I just recently finished a book about the life of Ernesto Che Guevara. I don't know if I agree with his political ideas, in fact I still don't have a true idea of what my own are. But I have to admire his determination, and the role that he played in Latin American history. Here is a quote from his book, this is from a letter to his children:
"Study hard so that you can master the technique that permits mastery of nature...Above all, always be capable of feeling most deeply any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world. This is the most beautiful quality in a revolutionary (From My life with Che by Hilda Gadea.
As I watch little Maija grow up, I have felt an urgency to learn more about my own culture so I can pass that to my little one, not only the language, but also the people, that in one way or another shaped Latin America to what it is today. If anyone has any recommendations about Latin American books, and music that you love, I will like to know of them.
