Latin America, 1983-1987
Author: Robert Delorme
Publisher: Greenwood
ISBN: 0313264066
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The crisis in Central America and the Caribbean has led to an increased number of books, articles, and studies on Latin America. The role of the United States in Latin America, both in history and at the present time, is receiving new attention and examination. Renewed interest in the foreign policies of Latin American countries and in democracy and redemocratization is reflected in the literature. This comprehensive reference is intended as a sequel to two previously published works: Latin America, 1967-1979: Social Science Information Sources and Latin America, 1979-1983: A Social Science Bibliography. It contains titles of books, monographs, articles, and chapters that have been published through 1987, and it provides up-to-date and in-depth listings of available materials on Latin America. This expansive work will prove especially useful for university and college faculties as well as for librarians who provide guidance to students researching Latin America.

Latin American Dictators of the 20th Century
Author: Javier A. Galván
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476600163
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Throughout the 20th century, the emergence of authoritarian dictatorships in Latin America coincided with periods of social convulsion and economic uncertainty. This book covers 15 dictators representing every decade of the century and geographically from the Caribbean and North and Central and South America. Each chapter covers their personal information (childhood, education, marriage, family...), assumption of power, relationship with the United States, oppression of civilians, and collapse of their regimes. The book also investigates inherent contradictions in U.S. foreign policy: promoting democracy abroad while supporting brutal dictatorships in Latin America. Such analysis requires multiple perspectives and this work embraces an evaluation of the influence of military dictatorships on cultural elements such as art, literature, journalism, music and cinema, while drawing on data from documentary archives, court case files, investigative reports, international treaties, witness testimonies, and personal letters from survivors. The dramatic experiences of courageous individuals who challenged these 15 oppressors are also recounted.
