内容説明

This volume brings together important documents in the history of the relationship between the United States and Latin America. In addition to the standard canon of diplomatic sources, which are reproduced here in their full, original versions, the book also includes less frequently cited works, from the "Rum and Coca Cola" song to Senate findings in investigations of assassination plots during the 1970s. All of them illuminate key issues and a variety of interests and opinions, and reflect the patterns of both continuity and change in US-Latin American relations. Encompassing transnational concerns ranging from economic relations and environmental matters to immigration, human rights and culture, these readings illustrate not just the commonly discussed US policy toward Latin America but also the often-overlooked Latin American perspective as well as general opinion in the US.

  • Transitions of Empire
  • The Colossus of the North

内容説明

Latin America and the United States: A Documentary History brings together the most important documents on the history of the relationship between the United States and Latin America from the nineteenth century to the present. In addition to the standard diplomatic sources, the book includes documents touching on the transnational concerns that are increasingly taught in the classroom, including economic relations, environmental matters, immigration, human rights, and culture. Among the less frequently cited works reproduced here are Domingo Sarmiento's nineteenth-century reflections on life in the United States, the Andrews Sisters' 1944 hit song, "Rum and Coca Cola," Jack Kerouac's beatnik observations on Mexico, the U.S. Senate's investigation of CIA assassination plots, and the World Court decision condemning the Reagan administration's Nicaragua policy. The collection illuminates key issues while representing a variety of interests and views as they have both persisted and shifted over time, including often-overlooked Latin American perspectives and U.S. public opinion. A special feature of this book is the extensive introductions highlighting the historical context and significance of each of the 124 documents. A detailed index provides the thematic and national cross-referencing that both students and instructors will appreciate. Latin America and the United States: A Documentary History is an ideal text for undergraduate and graduate courses in Latin American history as well as in U.S.-Latin America relations. In addition, it serves as a unique reference tool for foreign policy professionals, international law specialists, journalists, and scholars in a variety of disciplines.
