Historian Eric Hobsbawm wrote that Latin America was the only region of the world outside Europe which he felt he knew well and where he felt entirely at home. He claimed this was because it was the only part of the Third World whose two principal languages, Spanish and Portuguese, were within his reach. But he was also, of course, attracted by the potential for social revolution in Latin America. In 'Viva La revolucion', Hobsbawm examines 'a continent apparently bubbling with the lava of social revolutions'.
