Overview
An accessible course book on U.S.-Latin American
relations \"Our Hemisphere\"? uncovers the range,
depth, and veracity of the United States' relationship with the
Americas. Using short historical vignettes, Britta and Russell
Crandall chart the course of inter‑American relations from 1776 to
the present, highlighting the roles that individuals and groups of
soldiers, intellectuals, private citizens, and politicians have had
in shaping U.S. policy toward Latin America in the postcolonial,
Cold War, and post-Cold War eras. The United States is usually and
correctly seen as pursuing a monolithic, hegemonic agenda in Latin
America, wielding political, economic, and military muscle to force
Latin American countries to do its bidding, but the Crandalls
reveal unexpected yet salient regional interactions where Latin
Americans have exercised their own power with their northern and
very powerful neighbor. Moreover, they show that Washington's
relationship with the region has relied, in addition to the usual
heavy‑handedness, on cooperation and mutual respect since the
beginning of the relationship.
