The spectre of 'Communism' was used to justify the expansion of
American global leadership throughout the twentieth century.
Nowhere was this more evident than in their 'backyard' of Latin
America. The fear and hysteria created by the perceived communist
menace justified the demonization of democratic reformers, the
mischaracterization of political unrest, the overthrow of
democratic regimes, the prolonged support of military dictatorships
and the continued political and economic subservience of much of
Latin America to the USA throughout the era of the Cold War and
beyond. 'Pretext: Anti-Communism in Latin America' examines the
origins of this hysteria from 1930-1965. It suggests that the
academic focus on the rise and fall of communism has distracted
analysis from the non-communist reformers who fought for democracy,
social justice, and independent economic development. This timely
reinterpretation of the origins of the Cold War in Latin America
seeks to explain the continuing power imbalance between the US and
the Latin American republics.
