The book I'm currently reading for my Latin American Independence Movement class is quite fascinating - and not that difficult to understand (unlike a couple of the other books, written by professors who want to impress people with the elevated vocabulary).
The current book is entitled, "Tropical Versailles" and is about the 1808 Portuguese royal court's move from Lisbon to Rio de Janiero - the only time in which an empirical metropolis capital actually picked up and moved across to the Americas. It's a fascinating story!
Cheers!
