In America’s history of settler colonialism, the “master narrative” framing inscribed into law, literature, and media has functioned as a powerful tool of control and conquest. America’s early history is not merely a record of events but a carefully constructed story — a dominant, overarching framework shaped by those in power to justify their actions and maintain control. Moreover, presenting settler actions as inevitable, morally justified, or necessary for the advancement of “civilization” allows the master narrative to distort and erase Indigenous perspectives.

Historia de los Charrúas y demás tribus indígenas del Uruguay", de Orestes Araújo, es una monografía etnográfica e histórica fascinante que desentraña el mundo de los antiguos habitantes del Uruguay, centrándose en la belicosa tribu charrúa y sus vecinas: arachanes, bohanes, yaros, guenoas, minuanes y chans.

The narrow Darién Gap, the only land bridge connecting South and Central America, encompasses a spectacularly hostile jungle, covered in steep mountains, dense rainforests, and flood-prone marshes. Known in Spanish as el infierno verde, or “the green hell,” it is one of the most inhospitable places in the world. Its terrain is too treacherous for roads, yet hundreds of thousands of refuge seekers contend with its horrors every year in the hopes of reaching the United States, still some three thousand miles away. And of the countless who set out for the border, an untold number never arrive.
