Reviews

“Ideal for undergraduate courses, “Our Hemisphere”? is a balanced and nuanced portrayal of the history of U.S.–Latin American relations. The attention given to more recent episodes on immigration, the drug war and U.S. policy toward Cuba and Venezuela is especially welcome.”—Allen Wells, author of Tropical Zion: General Trujillo, FDR and the Jews of Sosúa

“Britta and Russell Crandall’s deeply researched and engaging book illuminates the complexities in US–Latin American relations that are too often overlooked. ‘Our Hemisphere’? is a magisterial and insightful account that should provoke rethinking of inter-American relations.”—Michael Shifter, president, Inter-American Dialogue
