Description

In 1958, indignant Venezuelans attacked Vice President Richard Nixon in Caracas, opening a turbulent decade in Latin American-U.S. relations. In Yankee No! Alan McPherson sheds much-needed light at the controversial and pressing problem of anti-U.S. sentiment on the earth.

Examining the roots of anti-Americanism in Latin The us, McPherson specializes in three major crises: the Cuban Revolution, the 1964 Panama riots, and U.S. intervention within the Dominican Republic. Deftly combining cultural and political analysis, he demonstrates the shifting and complex nature of anti-Americanism in every country and the love-hate ambivalence of most Latin Americans toward the USA. When rising panic over “Yankee hating” led Washington to take a look at 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 USA.

However, McPherson warns, U.S. leaders run a perfect risk if they continue to ignore the deeper causes of anti-Americanism. Written with dramatic flair, Yankee No! is a timely, compelling, and carefully researched contribution to international history.
