Resumen
In La Política de los Estados Unidos en el Continente Americano, Raúl de Cárdenas y Echarte delivers a critical and scholarly examination of the foreign policy of the United States as it has historically shaped — and sometimes dominated — the affairs of Latin America.
Written in the early 20th century, the book reflects both intellectual rigor and a deep concern for Latin American sovereignty.
It investigates key doctrines and events such as:
The Monroe Doctrine and its interpretations
U.S.
interventions in the Caribbean and Central America
Economic imperialism and the role of U.S.
corporations
The broader political consequences of American hemispheric dominance
Cárdenas offers not only a historical analysis, but also a moral and political critique, calling for Latin American nations to assert greater autonomy and solidarity in the face of growing U.S.
influence.
