• catalog abstract ""Ideal for student research and debate, this is the first single-volume reference work to examine, country by country, the history of U.S. involvement in 24 Latin American and Caribbean nations since the Monroe Doctrine in 1823. Each country and its relations with the United States is analyzed succinctly in an individual chapter. Dent, a noted expert on inter-American relations, organizes each chapter around major themes that illuminate both historical and contemporary issues, and shows how in recent years U.S. concerns have been transformed from issues of security and economic interests to drug trafficking, immigration, and trade pacts. Discussion of key events - wars, revolutions, and dictatorships - and lively accounts of the role of powerful individuals illustrate the causes and consequences of U.S. involvement." "Each chapter features a timeline of events in the history of U.S. involvement in that country and a list of suggested readings on the country and its relationship with the U.S.A glossary explains key terms used throughout the book. Comparative tables and charts put inter-American relations in perspective. A selection of editorial cartoons from the 1980s offers biting commentary on U.S. relations with its Latin American neighbors. Designed to meet the information needs of high school and college students and the general public, this reference work provides both historical perspective and timely analysis of current problems confronting the U.S. and its neighbors to the south."--Jacket.".
