After World War I, Latin America's budding leftist political culture shifted in character and outlook and, by the second half of the 1920s, had come to be identified as an anti-imperialist force. The communist parties, which stood apart from previous socialist and anarchist trends, brought the theme of imperialism to the fore, making it a dominant component of leftist discourse. The imperialist threat became the subject of economic, political, and ideological study and a crucial part of the political agenda. Influenced by Bukharinist tendencies, Latin American communists proceeded to establish the Liga Antiimperialista de las Américas (Anti-Imperialist League of the Americas-LADLA) and its various national chapters. The cultural construction of imperialism and anti-imperialism in Latin America stood in opposition to the Europeanized and Orientalist ideologies in vogue at the time
