This book provides over 260 entries on U.S. presidents, Latin
American politicians, covert operations, policies, and major events
since the early 1800s that define the contentious relations between
the United States and the Latin American and Caribbean region.
From the Monroe Doctrine to NAFTA, the tone of U.S.-Latin
America relations has been set by the United States, and largely to
its benefit. Dent compiles more than 260 A-to-Z entries that detail
the key people, events, treaties, wars, and concepts that have gone
into the making of the often contentious relations between the
United States and the Latin American and Caribbean region. Entries
conclude with suggested readings and are thoroughly
cross-referenced. A thematic index guides users to related entries,
and an extensive bibliography includes a list of key works central
to the study of U.S.-Latin American relations. There is also a
separate list of relevant online resources. The entire work is also
thoroughly indexed.
Useful for students and researchers of international politics
within the Western hemisphere, Dent's historical dictionary covers
items ranging from pro-slavery filibusterers adventuring in Central
America, Dollar Diplomacy, Anti-Americanism, Banana Wars, the
Reagan Doctrine, Sandinistas, friendly Dictators, Che Guevara, to
the impact of the events of September 11, 2001 on Latin America,
among many others.
