Richard Nixon as Catalyst for Venezuelan Anti-Americanism

Beginning his book with the brutal and unexpected attack on Richard Nixon during a 1958 visit to Caracas, Alan McPherson sets the stage for his analysis of anti-Americanism across Venezuela, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Panama during the roughly ten years following the incident. Defining anti-Americanism as “the expression of a disposition against U.S. influence abroad” (p.5), the author argues that the term has been traditionally ill-defined, especially in its often arbitrary use after Sep. 11, 2001.

How is Latin American Anti-Americanism Unique?

McPherson seeks to detail exactly what constituted this uniquely anti-American sentiment among Latin Americans, thereby filling a gap in a historiography that he claims is more focused on anti-imperialism in general. By claiming that, regardless of the facts, U.S. planners and officials mostly denied having an empire during the 1950s and 60s, the author establishes the confusion inherent in U.S. – Latin American relations. McPherson also chooses to approach the term from a broad perspective, and rather than getting bogged down in semantics, he launches into a detailed exploration of protests, films, newspapers, U.S. and Latin American governmental meetings, and popular movements, in a bold attempt to trace themes of anti-Americanism throughout the 1950s and 60s.
