You are in luck, since the Latin America section of the subreddit's booklist is predominantly about times prior to 1492. /u/CommodoreCoco /u/400-rabbits /u/drylaw

Also, when you say "America" you are referring to the whole continent(s)? I would have tagged different flairs if you meant the US or the Caribbean. It's helpful to be specific. The North American equivalent is here.

This is more of a follow-up to OP's question. Is 1491: New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus and 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus created both by Charles C. Mann good books to read about pre-Columbian and post-Columbian eras?
