This is the first book to explore the impact of American corporate culture on Latin American societies in the decades before World War II.
'This book will become a standard source about the economic role of the United States in Latin America during the first third of the tweniteth century.' Paul W. Drake, Journal of Interdisciplinary History 'The book's broad historical sweep and cross historical focus make it a most valuable addition to the literature on the impact of the depression on labour insurgencies in Latin America and on the vast literature on populism and nationalism. More concretely it will be obligatory reading for students of revolutionary nationalism.' Barry Carr, Journal of Latin American Studies 'This is a superb analysis of how American corporations worked as remarkable transforming agents on their host cultures. It can be read with immense profit by historians of all stripes.' Lawrence A. Clayton, Journal of American History
