The Latinamericanization of American Foreign Policy
The foreign policies of the George W. Bush administration, constructed by neo-conservative architects like Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle, have their ideological antecedents in United States policy toward Latin America. Although the neo-conservatives are not schooled in Latin American diplomatic history, the Bush Doctrine draws so extensively on previous Latin American policies and practices that it represents the Latin Americanization of Ameri…
Taking Haiti: Military Occupation and the Culture of U.S. Imperialism, 1915-1940
Taking Haiti begins with an intriguing question: “How does a man imagine himself when he is about to pull a trigger?” (p. 3). Mary Renda attempts to answer that question by examining how the culture of American marines was shaped in and by their experience in Haiti and how the occupation of Haiti impacted American culture at home. Renda argues that “the military occupation of Haiti that began in 1915 was no sideshow . . . . It was one of several …

In 1982 two influential books dispelled any lingering doubts about the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) involvement in the coup that deposed Guatemalan president Jacobo Arbenz. Richard Immerman’s The CIA in Guatemala provided the scholarly analysis of the agency’s operations. Stephen Schlesinger and Stephen Kinzer’s Bitter Fruit: The Untold Story of the American Coup in Guatemala, gave professors a less analytical but more engaging narrative t…

Recent Work on U.S. Relations with Costa Rica
Few North Americans engage in research on or teach about Costa Rica. Kyle Longley, an assistant professor of history at Arizona State, and Aviva Chomsky, an assistant professor at Bates College, represent a refreshing wave of serious historical scholarship on the least studied and most envied country in Latin America. Ironically, these and other non-Costa Rican scholars are challenging the myth of Costa Rica as a model of peace, political stabili…

Equally eager to probe the history of one of Central America's…
