Let me start by saying – yes, I absolutely fit the 'moron' demographic this book targets. And you know what? I’m not even mad. John Leguizamo’s Latin History for Morons is like that history teacher you wish you had in school: equal parts savage, sarcastic, and shockingly informative.

The genius here is how Leguizamo turns centuries of overlooked Latinx history into bite-sized, meme-worthy lessons. I found myself actually *retaining* facts about Taíno rebellions and Aztec innovations – something my high school textbooks failed at spectacularly. The chapter on 'Colonialism for Dummies' had me both laughing and rage-texting my friends with newfound knowledge.

My only gripe? The Spanish edition oversight hits hard. My abuela would’ve loved the sections dismantting the 'discoverer' myth, but the language barrier makes sharing impossible. Here’s hoping for a bilingual reprint!

Perfect for: Anyone who slept through world history class (guilty), fans of education disguised as comedy, and people who want to fact-check their tío’s questionable Thanksgiving dinner rants.
