Latin America and the Global Cold War

Latin America and the Global Cold War analyzes more than a dozen of Latin America's forgotten encounters with Africa, Asia, and the communist world, and by placing the region in meaningful dialogue with the broader global South, this volume presents the first truly global history of contemporary Latin America.This book reveals many overlapping and sometimes conflicting iterations of Third World movements in Latin America, offers insights into a better understanding of the region's past and potential future, and challenges us to consider how the global Cold War continues to influence ongoing political conflicts in Latin America.Contributors: Miguel Serra Coelho, Thomas C.
