New Perspectives on the Good Neighbor Policy

Edited by Alexandre Busko Valim and Ana Maria Mauad - Contributions by Vinícius Marcondes Araújo; Fernando Atique; Adriana Mendonça Cunha; Francisco César Alves Ferraz; Alexandre Fortes; Olival Freire Junior; Maria Girardello Gatti; Luis Felipe Kojima Hirano; Simone Petraglia Kropf; Aline Vanessa Locastre; Ana Maria Mauad; Érica Gomes Daniel Monteiro; Eliza Mitiyo Morinaka; Dennison de Oliveira; Cristina Soreanu Pecequilo; Ursula Prutsch; Richard Cándida Smith; Antonio Pedro Tota and Alexandre Busko Valim

The Second World War was a watershed moment in US–South American relations. Yet the Good Neighbor Policy—the driving force behind many of the changes during this time—remains underanalyzed, especially from a South American perspective. Examining topics ranging from literary fashions and trends in the press to science, militarism, and gender categories, New Perspectives on the Good Neighbor Policy sheds light on this crucial period in which the US defined geopolitical relations with South America and solidified its hemispheric hegemony. Additionally, the contributors evaluate the legacy of the Good Neighbor Policy in the twentieth century and its impact on twenty-first century politics.
