Book Overview
In 1958, angry Venezuelans attacked Vice President Richard Nixon in Caracas, opening a turbulent decade in Latin American-US relations. Here, Alan McPherson sheds much-needed light on the controversial and pressing problem of anti-US sentiment in the world. on three major crises: the Cuban Revolution, the 1964 Panama riots, and US intervention in the Dominican Republic. Deftly combining cultural and political analysis, he demonstrates the shifting and complex nature of anti-Americanism in each country and the love-hate ambivalence of most Latin Americans toward the United States. When rising panic over Yankee hating led Washington to try to contain foreign hostility, the government displayed a surprisingly coherent and consistent response, maintaining an ideological self-confidence that has outlasted a Latin American diplomacy torn between resentment and admiration of the United States. However, McPherson warns, US leaders run a great risk if they continue to ignore the deeper causes of anti-Americanism.
