Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to Latin-American History It may be that proper appreciation of the existing mutual dependence can arrive only through the strengthening of the economic bonds already created. A study of our commercial relations With Latin America shows that the two Americas are essentially inter - dependent. For that reason, a considerable portion of the accompanying syllabus has been devoted to such considerations, in the hope that through the study of this prae tical basis of inter-american relations there may arise a Pan American consciousness of common aims and interests, to which this little book is sincerely dedicated.

Download or read book Latin America and the War Classic Reprint written by Percy Alvin Martin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latin America and the War It was at this juncture also that the peculiar relations flowing out of membership in the Pan American family of nations introduced further problems. Several of the South American republics felt that the obligations of Pan American or continental solidarity could be discharged only through the formal severance of re lations with Germany. Finally the war had a reper cussion on the internal life of these countries which directly affected the conduct of their foreign policies. Especially was this true of those nations in which public Opinion had become sufficiently articulate and powerful to influence the actions of the government. The student of Latin American diplomacy of this period cannot therefore afford to ignore the pronouncement of leading writers and public men, the policy of the representative newspapers, and the force of propaganda. The official documents alone, important as these are, in many cases present an incomplete or distorted picture of the attitude of the nation as a whole to the Great war and its issues.

Download or read book Diplomatic Correspondence of the United States Concerning the Independence of the Latin American Nations Classic Reprint written by William R. Manning and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diplomatic Correspondence of the United States Concerning the Independence of the Latin-American Nations The proposal for the publication of the Diplomatic Correspondence of the United States concerning the Independence of the latin-a merican Nations was made to the Director of the Division of International Law by Dr. Alejandro Alvarez, then and now a distinguished publicist Of Chile, in a memorandum under date of May 12, 1916. He thus explained the need for a publication of this kind, suggesting both its content and the service which it would render to the Americas: One of the necessities most strongly felt by all students of the inter national law and diplomatic history Of our continent is the knowledge of the documents relative to the glorious period of the emancipation of the latin-american nations. Among those documents, the foreign papers or papers of a diplomatic character in the files of the Department of State of the United States, as well as the correspondence of the states men who then had the honor of conducting the foreign relations of said country, occupy a preferent place. The importance of those precedents arises from the active and efficient part which the United States took in the movement of emancipation of the latin-american states and from the careful reports which, upon the political, economical and social situation of these states were sent to the Department at Washington by the agents which the former credited to the latter. This of course is equivalent to saying that in the files of the Depart ment of State of the United States there is a considerable quantity of material for the diplomatic, political and economic history of Latin America. While many of these documents had been published in American State Papers, Foreign Relations a great portion of them remain still unpublished and therefore are unknown to historians. In our estimation the Carnegie Endowment would accomplish some thing of far-reaching effect, of scientific results and pan-american approximation, if it should decide to pay the expenses which the printing of all such documents should demand, and if it should solicit the acquiescence of the Government of the United States of America for the purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Vintage Book of Latin American Stories, Julio Ortega and Carlos Fuentes present the most compelling short fiction from Mexico to Chile. Surreal, poetic, naturalistic, urbane, peasant-born: All styles intersect and play, often within a single piece. There is "The Handsomest Drown Man in the World," the García Márquez fable of a village overcome by the power of human beauty; "The Aleph," Borges' classic tale of a man who discovers, in a colleague's cellar, the Universe. Here is the haunting shades of Juan Rulfo, the astonishing anxiety puzzles of Julio Cortázar, the disquieted domesticity of Clarice Lispector. Provocative, powerful, immensely engaging, The Vintage Book of Latin American Stories showcases the ingenuity, diversity, and continuing excellence of a vast and vivid literary tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Getting Together With Latin America IN preparing this book no attempt has been made to go into all the details of Latin Ameri can trade, and other conditions, or to prepare a complete and analytical treatise on our past, present and future relations with the republics of South and Central America. To do that would require not one, but many, volumes, each far more comprehensive than the present work, for an entire book might be devoted to the business conditions in each republic. Al though conditions, customs and affairs differ greatly in the various countries of Latin America, yet the same generalities prevail, with but few exceptions, and I have endeavored to treat of matters in a broad and comprehensive manner without the finer distinctions which would relate to individual republics.

This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glance at Latin American Civilization Latin American civilization from an Anglo Saxon point of view may be found Wanting in many respects, but the life and happiness of nations, the ideals and hopes of their peoples, their legislation and institutions, are not to be found ready made, but have to be worked out to meet peculiar wants, and in accordance with the racial, mental, moral and material resources and necessities of each. We must deal with Latin America as a whole if we wish to cast a rapid glance at its civilization. Some' of the twenty free and independent states which in their aggregate make up Latin America have developed more than others, and a few marvelously so, but whether north or south of the Panama Canal, east or west, on the Atlantic or the Pacific, on the Caribbean or the Gulf of Mexico, the countries of Latin America sprang from the same race - the brave, hardy, adventurous, romantic and warlike Spanish and Portuguese conquerors, who fought their way through unknown territories, whether in quest of El Dorado or in warfare against whole nations of Indians, as in the case of Mexico and Peru, where the native Indians had a marvelous civilization of their own.

Download or read book Why Latin American Nations Fail written by Esteban Pérez Caldentey and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of development is a major topic in courses across the social sciences and history, particularly those focused on Latin America. Many scholars and instructors have tried to pinpoint, explain, and define the problem of underdevelopment in the region. With new ideas have come new strategies that by and large have failed to explain or reduce income disparity and relieve poverty in the region. Why Latin American Nations Fail brings together leading Latin Americanists from several disciplines to address the topic of how and why contemporary development strategies have failed to curb rampant poverty and underdevelopment throughout the region. Given the dramatic political turns in contemporary Latin America, this book offers a much-needed explanation and analysis of the factors that are key to making sense of development today.
