Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of Nicaragua by the United States: Letter to President Taft You have broken all precedents of history and diplo macy in America. You have broken all sound rules of action in international policy. You have acted with unlimited power and personal discretion, and you are responsible to nobody. You profess to have acted in protection 'of American life and property, the native government having confessed itself incapable of fulfilling this primary function. But to do this you did not by any means need to make yourself a party to the civil war raging in the country, and much less the discharge of the duties of protection of life and property could by any possibility imply the meddling with the infernal hatred of the factions, and the taking upon yourself the direct and barbarous suppression of the revolution. Protect ing American and other foreign interests, you should have kept yourself within the bounds of strict neutrality, using the moral force of your great office to bring about an intelli gent and satisfactory settlement of the civil strife. In placeof this, you have invaded Nicaragua with an American army and you have subdued by brutal force the forces of the revolution and Nicaragua is to-day a subjugated nation. There was imminent danger of the fall of the govern ment into the hands of the 'soldiery of that new Zelaya, General Mena, which would 'have been indeed a great calamity. But the existence of a nominal government entirely controlled by you and absolutely dependent upon you is a calamity and a disgrace not less deplorable. You should have averted both dangers and you could easily have done so if your aim had been noble. But you chose to make impossible the formation of a strong government, because what you wanted was the destruc tion of the sovereignty of Nicaragua. It was sheer lust of land which moved you. I With all your judicial temperament you are evidently a believer in the manifest destiny boundaries of the United States, to wit, on the north by the aurora borealis, on the south by the pro cession of the equinoxes, on the east by the primeral chaos, and on the west the Day of Judgment.

Book Synopsis Confronting the American Dream by : Michel Gobat
Download or read book Confronting the American Dream written by Michel Gobat and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2005-12-27 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel Gobat deftly interweaves political, economic, cultural, and diplomatic history to analyze the reactions of Nicaraguans to U.S. intervention in their country from the heyday of Manifest Destiny in the mid–nineteenth century through the U.S. occupation of 1912–33. Drawing on extensive research in Nicaraguan and U.S. archives, Gobat accounts for two seeming paradoxes that have long eluded historians of Latin America: that Nicaraguans so strongly embraced U.S. political, economic, and cultural forms to defend their own nationality against U.S. imposition and that the country’s wealthiest and most Americanized elites were transformed from leading supporters of U.S. imperial rule into some of its greatest opponents. Gobat focuses primarily on the reactions of the elites to Americanization, because the power and identity of these Nicaraguans were the most significantly affected by U.S. imperial rule. He describes their adoption of aspects of “the American way of life” in the mid–nineteenth century as strategic rather than wholesale. Chronicling the U.S. occupation of 1912–33, he argues that the anti-American turn of Nicaragua’s most Americanized oligarchs stemmed largely from the efforts of U.S. bankers, marines, and missionaries to spread their own version of the American dream. In part, the oligarchs’ reversal reflected their anguish over the 1920s rise of Protestantism, the “modern woman,” and other “vices of modernity” emanating from the United States. But it also responded to the unintended ways that U.S. modernization efforts enabled peasants to weaken landlord power. Gobat demonstrates that the U.S. occupation so profoundly affected Nicaragua that it helped engender the Sandino Rebellion of 1927–33, the Somoza dictatorship of 1936–79, and the Sandinista Revolution of 1979–90.

Book Synopsis Sandinistas by : Robert J. Sierakowski
Download or read book Sandinistas written by Robert J. Sierakowski and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert J. Sierakowski's Sandinistas: A Moral History offers a bold new perspective on the liberation movement that brought the Sandinista National Liberation Front to power in Nicaragua in 1979, overthrowing the longest-running dictatorship in Latin America. Unique sources, from trial transcripts to archival collections and oral histories, offer a new vantage point beyond geopolitics and ideologies to understand the central role that was played by everyday Nicaraguans. Focusing on the country’s rural north, Sierakowski explores how a diverse coalition of labor unionists, student activists, housewives, and peasants inspired by Catholic liberation theology came to successfully challenge the legitimacy of the Somoza dictatorship and its entrenched networks of power. Mobilizing communities against the ubiquitous cantinas, gambling halls, and brothels, grassroots organizers exposed the regime’s complicity in promoting social ills, disorder, and quotidian violence while helping to construct radical new visions of moral uplift and social renewal. Sierakowski similarly recasts our understanding of the Nicaraguan National Guard, grounding his study of the Somozas’ army in the social and cultural world of the ordinary soldiers who enlisted and fought in defense of the dictatorship. As the military responded to growing opposition with heightened state terror and human rights violations, repression culminated in widespread civilian massacres, stories that are unearthed for the first time in this work. These atrocities further exposed the regime’s moral breakdown in the eyes of the public, pushing thousands of previously unaligned Nicaraguans into the ranks of the guerrilla insurgency by the late 1970s. Sierakowski’s innovative reinterpretation of the Sandinista Revolution will be of interest to students, scholars, and activists concerned with Latin American social movements, the Cold War, and human rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic work in postcolonial studies, Masks of Conquest describes the introduction of English studies in India under British rule and illuminates the discipline's transcontinental movements and derivations, showing that the origins of English studies are as diverse and diffuse as its future shape. In her new preface, Gauri Viswanathan argues forcefully that the curricular study of English can no longer be understood innocently of or inattentively to the imperial contexts in which the discipline first articulated its mission.
