The Cia in Ecuador
The Cia in Ecuador is a welcome remedy to the dearth of studies on the history of U.S.-Ecuadorian relations. Marc Becker's source base, in both Ecuador and the United States, is very impressive. His argument is cogent and well supported. Even as radical political-social movements were more powerful in the Andean nations of Bolivia and Chile, the left-wing political-social movements in Ecuador were powerful enough to lay the groundwork for more ro…
Vamos a Avanzar! The Chaco War and Bolivia's Political Transformation, 1899-1952
It all goes back to the Chaco War. It seems in studying recent Bolivian history that the bulk of that history is refracted through the lens of that very important war from 1932 to 1935, in which Bolivia lost to its neighbor Paraguay. Arguably, only the 1879–83 War of the Pacific, in which Bolivia lost its coastline to Chile, and the 1952 Bolivian Revolution possibly cast longer shadows on that history.At the time that the Chaco War was fought the…
Shifting the Meaning of Democracy
This timely book is a comparative examination of race relations between the Western Hemisphere's two largest countries. Although studies have examined U.S.-Brazilian race relations at various times, Jessica Lynn Graham's study, to the best of my knowledge, is the only one that focuses on the critically important mid-twentieth-century, when race relations were important for the World War II effort. As the Axis nations attempted to weaken the Allie…
The Cold War at Home and Abroad
This volume, on one of the most important issues in the study of the history of U.S. foreign policy, the intersection of domestic politics and foreign affairs, is an excellent overview of the state of this subfield of foreign relations history. Covering nearly all regions of the world, and filling a critical gap in the field of foreign relations history—the influence of domestic politics on foreign policy—it also showcases the excellent work of u…

Latin American Economic Nationalism and United States-Latin American Relations, 1945-1961 1
From the Cold War to the War on Terror
With the end of the Cold War, the recent resurgence of nationalism in Latin America, and the United States-led worldwide war on terror that assumed greater urgency after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, new appraisals of current hemispheric affairs are in order. These three books provide excellent insights that will help readers better understand the contours of and changes in the recent history of U.S.-Latin American relations
Democracy in Chile
Often social and cultural histories lack an international or transnational context. This fine collection of essays from an October 2003 conference does not suffer from such a problem. In an important investigation of Chile after September 11, 1973, the authors and editors have effectively linked particular events and trends in the recent Chilean past with patterns of globalization in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.In the pref…
