"Two established scholars of U.S.-Latin American relations offer a new and updated edition of their useful, multidisciplinary review of major issues and perspectives in Western Hemisphere relations from the Monroe Doctrine of the early nineteenth century to the policies of the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations in the early twenty-first century. Students will be able to discern from these well-selected contributions how many of the underlying premises and policies of the United States toward Latin America have endured, even as the region, the international environment, the United States itself, and the major issues on the agenda of U.S.-Latin American relations have fundamentally changed." -- Abraham F. Lowenthal, emeritus, University of Southern California; founding director, the Inter-American Dialogue and the Latin American Program of the Wilson Center Praise for the Previous Edition "An engaging collection of historical and contemporary writings, interdisciplinary analysis, and primary political documents. The juxtaposition of contrasting historical time frames and divergent opinions provides the reader with a more complex analysis than many other volumes of its kind. . . . The book does an excellent job of presenting insightful historical and contemporary perspectives on mainstream topics. . . . A useful text for generating debates in courses on U.S.-Latin American relations." -- Bulletin of Latin American Research This thoroughly revised and updated reader traces the relationship between the United States and Latin America from the early nineteenth century to the present.
