In the Washington Post, Marie Arana reviews Chesa Boudin’s Gringo: A Coming of Age in Latin America.

Eventually, Boudin admits, the American left is the real destination of his journey. “I came to see Latin America,” he writes, “as a prism through which I could better understand my own roots in the radical left in the United States, and the role my country plays in a global society.”

So, there we have it. Though we await desperately needed insights into the promise that has always been Latin America, we get the shaky road map of a callow young man.
