The relationship between the world's largest power and the small
nations of the Caribbean has been and remains rich and varied. The
history of political and security collaboration is long, if not
untroubled: the United States is the Caribbean's predominant trade
and investment partner, and U.S. culture is as pervasive in the
region as are U.S. goods. At the same time, the proximity,
smallness, and economic dependence of these countries have all
contributed to a tendency for the United States to seek to dominate
the region, often enough by resort to hard power. From the
nineteenth century through the Cold War, the United States has
resorted to military interventions and coercive diplomacy to ensure
that this region, so close to its shores, remains stable and
friendly. The Historical Dictionary of United States-Caribbean
Relations contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and
an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700
cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics,
economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture.
