Representing the Nation: Sport and Spectacle in Post-Revolutionary Mexico
It has long been understood that sports and athletic events have meaning far beyond their strictly athletic or ludic component. This is especially true of the modern Olympic Games, and the 1968 Summer Games in Mexico is no exception. British historians Claire and Keith Brewster have dedicated much of their careers to interpreting those games. The approach of this book, originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of the Hi…
American sports across the Americas
Looking at the interaction of sports between the United States and Latin America reveals that North American sports have arrived throughout the Western Hemisphere via various carriers and have been accepted or rejected based on a combination of their intrinsic and extrinsic qualities. Rejection or resistance has rarely been hostile or violent; acceptance has often been marked by adaptation to local environment and culture. Latinos and Latin Ameri…
Panama Lost? U.S. Hegemony, Democracy, and the Canal
After Mexico and Cuba, probably no Latin American country has been more central to United States interests since the 1840s than Panama. Blessed with unique geographical assets, the isthmus attracted the Panama Railroad, the abortive Ferdinand de Lesseps project, and repeated American “police” interventions under Colombian sovereignty authorized by the Mallarino-Bidlack Treaty of 1846. But Isthmians were never sure of their identity as Colombians,…
Mujeres en la creacion musical de Mexico (review)
Creative, talented women in the arts in Mexico have gained recognition, acceptance, and respect only selectively. Those in other fields of popular culture have done much better. Movie actresses (e.g., María Félix, Delores del Río); popular singers (e.g., Lucha Villa, Lola Beltrán); more recently writers (e.g., Elena Poniatowska, Silvia Molina, Laura Esquivel); and, stretching the definitions, Soraya Jiménez Mendivi, who won a gold medal in weight…
The Later Evolution of Modern Sport in Latin America: The North American Influence
American impact on modern sports in Latin America overlaps geographically and chronologically with the European, especially British, impact. Principally baseball in the Caribbean basin, more recently basketball and volleyball across the hemisphere and occasionally American football in more limited areas illustrate a north-to-south movement executed by businessmen, educators, missionaries, military personnel, returning travelers (often students), …
Meaning and Joy in Latin American Sports
Drawing on recent scholarship, this overview discusses the adoption of modern sports in several Latin American settings and their evolving cultural meaning. Examples include soccer in Argentina, baseball in Cuba, baseball along the United States-Mexican border and cricket in the West Indies. Discussion focuses upon the reasons why particular sports are adopted within a culture and assume import to a people within a specific geographical area. Ine…

Colombian Reactions to the Independence of Panama, 1903-1904
Although several Colombians of varying prominence had suggested the possibility of an imminent Isthmian revolt, it seems that the events of and immediately after November 3, 1903, took most of their countrymen by surprise. Certainly there is no evidence of significant prior planning for such a contingency. The achievement of Panamanian independence was followed, in turn, by a Colombian failure to establish a consistent and coherent policy designe…

In an attempt to foster more and better academic courses on Latin America in the United States, the Pan American Union convened a national round table in Washington in April 1952 and, during the ensuing decade, sponsored a series of regional conference…
