Book Description:
|
The dominant tradition in writing about US-Latin American relations during the Cold War views the US as all-powerful. That perspective, represented in the metaphor "talons of the eagle", continues to influence much scholarly work down to the present day. The goal of this collection of essays is not to write the US out of the picture but to explore the ways Latin American governments, groups, companies, organisations, and individuals promoted their own interests and perspectives.
