Griffith's groundbreaking and controversial 1915 feature film The Birth of a Nation. Perhaps unfairly, Dixon has been branded an arch-conservative and a racist obsessed with what he viewed as ""the Negro problem."" As American Racist makes clear, however, Dixon was a complex, multi-talented individual who, as well as writing some of the most popular novels of the early twentieth century, was involved in the production of some eighteen films. Dixon used the motion picture as a propaganda tool for his 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAuthors, American$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aFilm adaptations$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfrican Americans in motion pictures 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aRacism in motion pictures 606 $aRacism$zUnited States 606 $aRacism in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory 615 0$aAuthors, American 615 0$aFilm adaptations$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in motion pictures. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aRacism in motion pictures. 615 0$aRacism 615 0$aRacism in literature. 676 $a818/.5209 676 $aB 700 $aSlide$b Anthony$0457503 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451972703321 996 $aAmerican racist$92446045 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02308nam 2200409 450 001 9910468226403321 005 20230823003711.0 010 $a3-030-56950-0 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-56950-1 035 $a(CKB)5590000000005455 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6419825 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-56950-1 035 $a(EXLCZ)995590000000005455 100 $a20210405d2020 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aCorporate versus national interest in US trade policy $eChiquita and Caribbean bananas /$fRichard L.

Implications for US National Interest in the Caribbean. 330 $aThis book provides a history of the WTO US-EU banana dispute through the lens of a major actor: the US-owned multinational firm, Chiquita Brands International. It documents and explains how Chiquita succeeded in having the Clinton administration pursue a trade policy of forcing the European Union to dismantle its preferential banana import regime for exports from the small English-speaking Caribbean (ESC) countries. The export of bananas was critically important to the social stability and economic viability of these countries and that was in the national security interest of the United States. The experience indicates that succeeding in this goal was detrimental to U.S. national security interest in the Caribbean. . 607 $aUnited States$xCommercial policy 676 $a382.30973 700 $aBernal$b Richard L.$0856370 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910468226403321 996 $aCorporate versus national interest in US trade policy$91912487 997 $aUNINA
