Download or read book Negotiating Paradise written by Dennis Merrill and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accounts of U.S. empire building in Latin America typically portray politically and economically powerful North Americans descending on their southerly neighbors to engage in lopsided negotiations. Dennis Merrill's comparative history of U.S. tourism in Latin America in the twentieth century demonstrates that empire is a more textured, variable, and interactive system of inequality and resistance than commonly assumed. In his examination of interwar Mexico, early Cold War Cuba, and Puerto Rico during the Alliance for Progress, Merrill demonstrates how tourists and the international travel industry facilitated the expansion of U.S. consumer and cultural power in Latin America. He also shows the many ways in which local service workers, labor unions, business interests, and host governments vied to manage the Yankee invasion. While national leaders negotiated treaties and military occupations, visitors and hosts navigated interracial encounters in bars and brothels, confronted clashing notions of gender and sexuality at beachside resorts, and negotiated national identities. Highlighting the everyday realities of U.S. empire in ways often overlooked, Merrill's analysis provides historical context for understanding the contemporary debate over the costs and benefits of globalization.

Download or read book Preserving Whose City written by Brian J. Godfrey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Brazil’s largest concentration of historic landmarks and famous landscapes, Rio de Janeiro’s passionate heritage debates have helped to define both the city and the country. Taking a critical preservationist stance, Brian Godfrey explores how historic designation and urban rebranding have shaped Rio’s distinctive sense of place. Official heritage programs date from the 1930s, when federal authorities centralized power and promoted nationalism. The city began a heritage-based strategy of urban revitalization and rebranding in the 1980s––the “Cultural Corridor” of historic places downtown. Subsequent rediscovery of the old “Little Africa” district and continuing struggles of favela communities have emphasized narratives of “counter-memory” against racism, social injustice, and governmental neglect. Meanwhile environmental activism has encouraged programs to conserve the historic landscapes of Rio’s famous mountains, forests, beaches, and bays. While historic preservation often presumes to conserve or restore heritage sites according to a preexisting authenticity, Godfrey shows how the past actually becomes a resource for present-day interests. Memory brokers have guided the reinvention of historic places, determining whose past has been preserved. Debates over the “right of remembrance,” he argues, shape place memories and identities in this spectacular if highly unequal megacity, which has much to teach the world about conserving cultural diversity and urban environments.

Book excerpt: It's the dawn of a new summer on Long Beach Island and the fireworks have already begun. Ignited by a sizzling cast of shady characters that include a dime store Santa with an ax to grind; a matronly, metal-detecting museum curator; a dubious real estate developer; and a web of nefarious businessmen, power brokers and government officials doing battle with a radical group of surfing environmental activists, the stage is set for the explosive events about to take place. Geoffrey Martin has graduated from Princeton University and follows in his father's footsteps, exploring the trail of a recent biological outbreak that has descended upon Fort Dix and the fragile New Jersey environs that enshrouds it. He may not find the cure he's looking for, but he's certainly capable of cooking up an adventure wherever he is. Geoffrey's older sister Kelly has put a career in international politics on hold to provide part time clerical assistance for outspoken Surf City mayor Dillard C. Webb, while continuing to dabble in flights of romantic fantasy and outdoor summer fun. Their unpredictable pal Danny Windsor is too busy catching waves to notice that the tide is rising underneath him. Soon, he won't be able to paddle fast enough to get out of the way of the danger he has seen with his very own eyes. Once again united by time, place, and an unrelenting passion for mystery, the three summer sleuths find themselves confronting the vagaries of life and the tragic beauty that surrounds us all. No longer naïve teens, they continue to grow together, this time while assembling the pieces that will help to solve The Riddle in the Sand.
