New concerns with the intersections of culture and power,
historical agency, and the complexity of social and political life
are producing new questions about the United States' involvement
with Latin America. Turning away from political-economic models
that see only domination and resistance, exploiters and victims,
the contributors to this pathbreaking collection suggest alternate
ways of understanding the role that U.S. actors and agencies have
played in the region during the postcolonial period. Exploring a
variety of nineteenth- and twentieth-century encounters in Latin
America, these theoretically engaged essays by distinguished U.S.
and Latin American historians and anthropologists illuminate a wide
range of subjects. From the Rockefeller Foundation's public health
initiatives in Central America to the visual regimes of film, art,
and advertisements; these essays grapple with new ways of
conceptualizing public and private spheres of empire. As such,
Close Encounters of Empire initiates a dialogue between
postcolonial studies and the long-standing scholarship on
colonialism and imperialism in the Americas as it rethinks the
cultural dimensions of nationalism and development.
