Description:A study of how and why US-Latin American relations changed in the 1930s: "Brilliant . . . [A] charming and perceptive work." ―Foreign AffairsDuring the 1930s, the United States began to look more favorably on its southern neighbors. Latin America offered expanded markets to an economy crippled by the Great Depression, while threats of war abroad nurtured in many Americans isolationist tendencies and a desire for improved hemispheric relations. One of these Americans was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the primary author of America's Good Neighbor Policy.In this thought-provoking book, Bolton Prize winner Fredrick Pike takes a wide-ranging look at FDR's motives for pursuing the Good Neighbor Policy, how he implemented it, and how its themes played out up to the mid-1990s. Pike's investigation goes far beyond standard studies of foreign and economic policy. He explores how FDR's personality and Eleanor Roosevelt's social activism made them uniquely simp�tico to Latin Americans. He also demonstrates how Latin culture flowed north to influence U.S. literature, film, and opera.
