The struggle continues: People's history and the Global South http://theragblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/books-harry-tarq-struggle-continues-in.html

I am teaching a course this semester on United States relations with the Caribbean and Central America. I use the course to explore the historic patterns of United States foreign policy from the industrial revolution to the present. I open the course with reference to Greg Grandin’s thesis that U.S. conduct in the Western Hemisphere has served as a template or experiment for its global role as an imperial power.
