The Shaker Experience in America
The Shakers, once a radical religious sect whose members were despised and harassed by their fellow Americans, have in recent years become celebrated—and sentimentalized—for their communal way of life, the simplicity of their worship, their belief in celibacy, pacifism, and equality of the sexes, and not least, their superb furniture and handicrafts. This monumental book is the first general history of the Shakers from their origins in eighteenth…

Simón Bolívar
This compelling biography offers a unique perspective on the life and career of one of Latin America's most famous—and most adulated—historical figures. Departing from the conventional, narrow treatment of Bolívar's role in the Spanish-American wars of independence (1810–1825), leading historian Lester D. Langley frames this remarkable figure as the quintessential Venezuelan rebel, who by circumstance and sheer will rose to be the continent's mos…

Looking South
Helen Delpar’s goal in this succinct, well-organized, and timely book is both a survey and analysis of the work and views of U.S. historians and social scientists about Latin America from the nineteenth-century precursors to about 1975. She modestly describes her offering as an introduction to a continually evolving scholarship and a follow-up of earlier studies by Howard Cline, Lewis Hanke, and Carl Berger. Happily, she offers much more than a s…
Las revoluciones en el mundo atlántico
In recent years the field of Atlantic world studies has expanded tremendously, both in the numbers of scholars (principally though not exclusively historians) mining its rich and varied history and notably in the articles and books dedicated to the subject. It is perhaps best described as a blend of the transnational and comparative approaches. One of the myriad topics of the genre is the revolutionary age, usually identified by the benchmark dat…
Simón Bolívar's Quest for Glory
In recent years, English-language biographies of Simón Bolívar have become more numerous; with the approach of the bicentenary of Spanish America’s wars of independence, doubtless more will be forthcoming. Some may offer groundbreaking or novel interpretations of the Liberator’s life. Others may simply recapitulate familiar episodes, perhaps amplifying on features of his infuriatingly complex character or providing us with more detail of a career…
The United States and Latin American Revolution in the 1960s
Book reviewed: Michael D. Gambone. Capturing the Revolution: The United States, Central America, and Nicaragua. Since the early 1960s, students of United States-Latin American relations in the Cold War have been preoccupied with two distinct but closely related themes–U.S. efforts to contain revolution, or to prevent it with development programs. In this book, Michael D. Gambone (a retired U.S. Army officer) reconsiders these topics and in the pr…

Anti-Americanism in Central America
Anti-Americanism in Central America, unlike the outbursts of anti-Americanism in the Islamic world, is fueled not by religious fanaticism or anti-Western political or social conviction. America and Americans and the social and political values they symbolize are often extolled and sometimes just as routinely denounced. From the beginning of Central American independence in 1821, isthmian political aspirants, idealists, opportunists, revolutionari…
