An in-depth explanation of how the Cuban Revolution dictated Latin
American politics and U.S.-Latin American relations from the 1950s
to the present, including widespread democratization and the rise
of the "Pink Tide." Fidel Castro's ascent to power and the
revolution he carried out in Cuba not only catalyzed a wave of
revolutionary activity; it also set off a wave of reaction that led
to widespread military dictatorships and severe repression
culminating in state terrorism. Both revolution and reaction were
essentially over by 1990, and yet significant long-term effects of
the Cuban Revolution can still be seen in the modern era. Latin
America in the Era of the Cuban Revolution covers the events of the
Cuban Revolution itself, the resulting radicalization of Latin
American politics, the United States' responses to the threat of
communist expansion in the hemisphere, and rural and urban
guerrilla warfare that were spawned by the Cuban Revolution. It
also addresses the very different but incomplete revolutions in
Peru, Chile, and Nicaragua, the rise of state terrorism in response
to the threat of revolution, and major developments after 1990.
This book provides unique historical insights by bringing together
under the umbrella of the impact of the Cuban Revolution
developments that otherwise might seem unrelated to each other,
thereby documenting the relationship between revolution and
reaction. This third edition has three new chapters covering state
terrorism in South America; state terrorism in Central America; and
post-1990 developments such as neoliberalism, an unprecedented
degree of democratization, the "Pink Tide" of leftist governments
like those of Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and Evo Morales in Bolivia;
and women's major gains in politics. Additionally, all of the
chapters and the bibliography are updated.
