Book Synopsis A New Struggle for Independence in Modern Latin America by : Pablo A. Baisotti
Download or read book A New Struggle for Independence in Modern Latin America written by Pablo A. Baisotti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores several notable themes related to foreign affairs in Latin America and the reconfiguration of the power of the different states in the region. It offers insightful historical perspectives for understanding national, regional and global issues from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, from analysis of the traditional "hegemony" of the United States over Latin America through its military, and political influence due to the presence of the European Union, Russia, and China. These views cannot be reduced to a simplistic vision of the dominant and subordinate; rather, they attempt to seek lines of continuity by highlighting traditional interpretations of new scenarios such as regional trading and security blocs. The volume refuses to impose a traditional and uncritical linear historical narrative onto the reader but instead proposes an alternative interpretation of the past and its relation to the present. Finally, the growing importance of international mechanisms in enabling the success of certain Latin American regimes is also highlighted, in particular the influence of regional diffusion through international organizations or other networks.

Download or read book Castro's Secrets written by Brian Latell and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this riveting Cold War history, highly acclaimed author Brian Latell offers us a new and surprising look at Fidel Castro. Latell draws his narrative on personal interviews with high level defectors from Cuba's intelligence, many of whom have not spoken out for over nearly five decades. The result is a vivid and revelatory account that revises our understanding of how Fidel operated, what his goals were, and how he imagined the future for his tiny island nation. Latell takes us from from the crimes Fidel allegedly committed as a youth in the anti-Battista movement, to how quickly he built up an intelligence system that rivaled the Soviet Union's KGB and Britain's M15 in effectiveness, and how that translated into a feud with JFK's administration and the CIA, and the ultimate confrontation during the Cuban Missile Crises that brought the world to the brink of a nuclear holocaust"--

During her travels, she will encounter a society deeply divided by radicalism, hatred, and political fanaticism. She will learn about social inequalities, the vast gap between the rich and the poor, the causes and consequences of crime, insecurity, food shortages, and the idolatry and exaltation of figures like Simón Bolívar, Fidel Castro, and Hugo Chávez. Through her interactions with people, she will learn about the causes and consequences of contemporary Venezuelan history, the deep-rooted reasons for the divided factions, and the most significant social and political events, drawing her own conclusions from them. At the same time, she will try to offer, through her childlike ideas, a way out of the confusion, hatred, and ideological intolerance. Additionally, she will learn firsthand about the tragedy known as 'The Cantaura Massacre' and its connection to the terrible fates that befell her own family.
Book Synopsis Precarious Paths to Freedom by : Aragorn Storm Miller
Download or read book Precarious Paths to Freedom written by Aragorn Storm Miller and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2016-05-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miller analyzes US-Venezuelan relations during the 1950s and 1960s as a case study for the broader political dynamics of the hemisphere and beyond during the critical period of the global Cold War. He addresses the perception that US foreign policy toward Latin America was an overwhelming failure in which initiatives intended to promote democracy and modernization, and to insulate the hemisphere from the ideological struggles of the global Cold War, reaped only authoritarian regimes, uneven and sluggish economic growth, and abstract debates over capitalism and communism that distracted attention from Latin America’s pressing socioeconomic problems. Precarious Paths to Freedom demonstrates that Washington rather achieved success by cultivating a partnership with a democratizing Venezuela. From 1958 onward US policymakers identified Venezuela as the crucial bulwark against political extremism and as the ideal partner in the creation of a modernized, prosperous, and pro-US Latin America.

Book Synopsis The Wild Scent of Mastranto Flowers by : Franklin A. Díaz Lárez
Download or read book The Wild Scent of Mastranto Flowers written by Franklin A. Díaz Lárez and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2021-09-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aroma of Mastranto takes place in 2012, and is the story of twelve-year-old Ana’s trip back to Venezuela, where she was born. She had moved to Spain with her parents when she was a baby, and now is revisiting her native country for the first time. As Ana travels through Venezuela with her father, we read the letters she writes to a school friend telling her impressions of a divided, politicized society split by inequality and ravaged by insecurity and food scarcity, and her dismay at the idolatry of Simón Bolivar, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez that she observes. Ana’s trip is, most of all, a journey back into her own family history. When they visit the site where decades earlier a brutal massacre of Venezuelan guerrilla fighters took place, her father tells her how those same events scarred his family with violence and dysfunction that lasted for a generation, leaving none of them untouched. This book contains scenes of extreme violence and cruelty, including disturbing sexual violence, and may not be suitable for all readers.

Book Synopsis Leadership by Resentment by : Ruth Capriles
Download or read book Leadership by Resentment written by Ruth Capriles and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do such disparate events as Occupy Wall Street, IranÕs Islamic revolution and VenezuelaÕs socialist revolution have in common? Often, resentment based on past grievances or shortcomings seems to emerge from the depths of individual and collective psyches over the course of such emotionally charged movements. This resentment, and the related philosophical concept of ressentiment, can have a profound impact on the course of history and on the role of leadership within societies. Expanding on the concept of ressentiment, this book addresses the importance of emotions in historical events. The author explores the conditions that foster the development of ressentiment, the role of leaders and followers, and the phases of the phenomenon as it encourages destructive behaviors such as murder and suicide. Often considered an incurable disease with destructive social and political repercussions, it is a core motive for acts of terrorism, revolutions, social upheavals and processes of toxic leadership. The author puts forth a model that helps to describe certain historical processes led by ressentiment, like some revolutions and terrorist acts, and to distinguish them from other movements that are usually treated as similar (e.g., independence revolutions). The book then tackles a seemingly impossible question: Can we find a cure for this powerful and destructive impulse? With care and deliberation, the author demonstrates the power of ethical leadership, recognition and redemption as positive unifying forces during human conflicts. A philosophical endeavor to understand events from the Boston Tea Party to Occupy Wall Street, from the French revolution to Hugo Ch‡vezÕs revolution in Venezuela, this book will be fascinating reading for scholars and students of the social sciences and humanities and those with a particular interest in leadership.
Download or read book My First Life written by Hugo Chavez and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugo Chávez’s extraordinary story—in his own words Hugo Chávez, military officer turned left-wing revolutionary, was one of the most important Latin American leaders of the twenty-first century. This book tells the story of his life up to his election as president in 1998. Throughout this riveting and historically important account of his early years, Chávez’s energy and charisma shine through. As a young man, he awakens gradually to the reality of his country—where huge inequalities persist and the majority of citizens live in indescribable poverty—and decides to act. He gives a fascinating description of growing up in Barinas, his years in the Military Academy, his long-planned military conspiracy—the most significant in the history of Venezuela and perhaps of Latin America—which led to his unsuccessful coup attempt of 1992, and eventually to his popular electoral victory in 1998. His collaborator on this book is Ignacio Ramonet, the famous French journalist (and editor for many years of Le Monde diplomatique), who undertook a similar task with Fidel Castro (Fidel Castro: My Life).
Book Synopsis Latin America's Wars Volume II: The Age of the Professional Soldier, 1900-2001 by : Robert L. Scheina
Download or read book Latin America's Wars Volume II: The Age of the Professional Soldier, 1900-2001 written by Robert L. Scheina and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume in Robert Scheina's definitive study of Latin American military history draws upon years of extensive research and teaching in the field. Although wags in the United States have quipped that if Latin America's military forces were not constantly seeking political power they would have nothing to do, Scheina describes how these men have not only bravely defended their own homelands from foreign enemies but have also gone abroad to fight in both world wars and in the Korean War. This groundbreaking volume also examines the numerous U.S. interventions in Latin America during the twentieth century and the various motivations for them, ranging from the petty interests of influential North American businesses to global concerns with grand strategy which, for example, resulted in the building of the Panama Canal. Scheina concludes by exploring the role of Latin America in the Cold War and Colombia's ongoing conflict with the drug cartels. He focuses on operational history in the context of war as an instrument of politics and society, including insightful analyses of the military as an institution and of its relations with civilian government. Latin America's Wars fills a void in the literature, broadens U.S. readers' understanding of their neighbors, and serves as a point of departure for new scholarship.
