Schemers and Dreamers
It may be surprising to some Americans (only intermittently sensitive to history) that Mexican nationalists should still resent the Yankee landgrab of 1848, fully a century and a half later. At the other end of the scale, others may uneasily suspect that modern drug problems represent divine retribution against the Yankees or that irrepressible Mexican immigration into California and the Southwest merely evens out a continental balance disturbed …
The United States and Extraterritoriality
Book reviewed in this article: Eileen P. Scully, Bargaining with the State From Afar: American Citizenship in Treaty Port China, 1844–1942 The common view of extraterritoriality is that it involved the extension of special rights to foreign residents of a less developed and thus weaker nation. Under this system, American and British citizens—and sometimes those of other advanced nations—were tried by their own consular officials under their own c…
James G. Blaine and Latin America
In the modern study of international relations, David Healy regrets the overemphasis on “non-state factors,” such as cultural and intellectual considerations or the emergence of a global economy. He feels that diplomatic historians have lost sight of the formal relations between sovereign states and especially of the personalities of agents conducting these relations. “In the end,” he says, “someone must act or react, and it makes a difference wh…

Caribbean "Empire," Planned and Improvised
For more than sixty years, American historians have examined their country's rapidly expanding influence in the Caribbean during the first two decades of the twentieth century. The questions on which they have principally focused have been the good or bad effects of this influence, the Americans' intentions, and the processes by which they extended their influence. Although a few protohistorical accounts appeared during the two decades of greates…

Growth against Development
Rhetoric and Results
One of the staple problems that historians face is the gap between words and deeds. Policies announced by presidents or congressional leaders are not necessarily the policies they carry out. Business, labor, or other interest groups proclaim a set of goals as vital for national welfare; months later their actions suggest that they find these goals highly unsuitable. We historians would not have it otherwise, for conflict and inconsistency are our…

Inter-American Trade in the Early 1870s— A State Department Survey
A hundred years ago the United States had one of the worst depressions in its history. The disastrous drop in wages, prices, and output threw the mid-1870s into deep gloom and made the Centennial celebrations of 1876 seem to many persons no more than a bad joke. In subsequent years no one found a permanent cure for depressions, but during the late 1870s and 1880s a conviction developed that the Federal government must do more to aid American fore…

Mexico Opens the Door to American Capital, 1877–1880
Historians treating the American-Mexican diplomatic crisis during the Hayes administration have tended to regard it as a political and military affair, involving such points of controversy as the American recognition of Porfirio Díaz, the Mexican inability to keep order on the frontier, invasions of Mexico by American troops to punish marauding Indians, and, behind and above all, Mexican fears of American territorial ambitions. No one will deny t…
