100 Years of Solitude Part 2: Crash Course Literature 307
video description
In 16th century, Portuguese people did the Inquisition in Goa, they destroyed almost all Hindu temples, brutally tortured thousands of my people, burnt alive over 200 people. And this is as per the available records. Only the Gods know what were the actual numbers. But even Gods were destroyed.
And when I told this to my Catholic friend, he simply said- past is past and you should move on!
That friend himself belongs to family whose ancestors were tortured and forcefully converted!
Reality and pain and suffering are indeed a matter of perspective.
I think I'll try to translate this book in my language -if not already done! -

Ugh. The book illustrates the tyranny and evil deviance of the transnational mega corporation. The predecessor to Chiquita was a Monopoly that captured 90 percent of the market. It was as powerful, or perhaps even more so, than most nation states.
Most terrifying of all, this aspect is not fiction. corporations today have more concentrations of wealth, power and dominance than ever. See America's crack down on organized labour unions and special interest groups and lobbyists to advocate for big business. So called free trade agreements allow corporations to sue governments if their policies threaten even FUTURE PROFITS. where corporate rights Trump human rights.

just an very sad person that can be enough of crazy to write those stuffs in a novel. i'm likely a man like that. His words are so modern and short but deep that displays the reality. But the fantasy parts might be result of depression, anger, hatred, disgusting about humanity and crazy thoughts of marquez. He was seeing the humanity, its brutal and i had survived by the belief in god. i guess so, i never read the book even though i had one in my book cell.

I'm not a student (in the formal sense) anymore, but I am a literature junkie and I just discovered this series yesterday. These are amazing and you discuss literature in a highly approachable but profound way and I am so thankful I have found these.

I am so glad I watched these Crash Courses. I just finished the book, and I hated it. I loved the writing style and the beautiful descriptions but the video really adds another layer to it all. It makes more sense knowing the history. Great video.

I noticed that they animated two Jose Arcadios the same even though they were different people and looked different so I think they might have gotten confused because of the names. Not that it-s important, it just bugged me a bit after I noticed.

I am from Colombia and you have no idea how good it feels than a foreigner, a gringo we may say, and your group of people creating this videos understand the kind of stuff that have happened here and are willing to share it, it fills my heart.

In a freaky coincidence i came here from Crash Course World History's chapter on colonialism (you haven-t aged well) and I came close to commenting on Chiquita as an example of modern corporate colonialism.
