So I've been really into revolutions lately and currently working my way through Latin American history. Something that gets brought up a lot is how horrible the haciendas were and their working/living conditions for the peasants that work them. However I am finding it hard to find books that go in depth about the daily life of hacienda workers.
I am essentially looking for the hacineda equivalent of 12 Years a Slave or Les Miserable. Searching for books about hacinedas tends to bring up a lot of books that are primarily about romance/horror, houses and some nightclub in the UK.
