In Yankee No! Alan McPherson sheds much-needed light on the controversial and pressing problem of anti-U.S. sentiment in the world. Examining the roots of anti-Americanism in Latin America, McPherson focuses on three major crises: the Cuban Revolution, the 1964 Panama riots, and U.S. intervention in the Dominican Republic. Deftly combining cultural and political analysis, he demonstrates the shifting and complex nature of anti-Americanism in each country and the love-hate ambivalence of most Latin Americans toward the United States. When rising panic over "Yankee hating" led Washington to try to contain foreign hostility, the government displayed a surprisingly coherent and consistent response, maintaining an ideological self-confidence that has outlasted a Latin American diplomacy torn between resentment and admiration of the United States. However, McPherson warns, U.S. leaders run a great risk if they continue to ignore the deeper causes of anti-Americanism. Written with dramatic flair, Yankee No! is a timely, compelling, and carefully researched contribution to international history.Anti-AmericanismLatin AmericaLatin AmericaRelationsUnited StatesUnited StatesRelationsLatin AmericaDominican RepublicHistory1961-PanamaHistory1946-1981CubaHistory1959-1990VenezuelaHistory1935-1958Anti-Americanism327.7308McPherson Alan L992198MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820067403321Yankee no3957189UNINA
