Turning the Tide: U.S. Intervention in Central America and the Struggle for Peace
The author, well-known for his criticism of the U.S. government's Vietnam policy in the 1960s, here turns his attention to Central America. The text wavers between a political broadside and a scholarly analysis of our policy towards the region in the larger context of our Cold War posture and conservative tendencies. Other sources have already better documented the inconsistencies between our purported values and policies abroad, and our support of human rights abuses. The Central American focus is diffused by the emphasis on domestic political conservatism, a connection not particularly well drawn.
This
book is the first to offer a global perspective on the unique
contemporary media phenomenon of transnational television channels. It
is also the first to compare their impact in different regions of the
globe. Revealing great richness and diversity across seven key
broadcasting regions, North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle
East, Africa, South and East Asia, the book examines the place of these
channels in the process of globalization, their impact on the
nation-state, and many more elements central to the study of
international media and communications.
This volume covers the cultures of Central America and the Caribbean, including the Indian groups and the Island groups such as the Cubans, Puerto Ricans and Haitans.
