In \u003ci\u003eYankee No!\u003c\/i\u003e Alan McPherson sheds much-needed light on the controversial and pressing problem of anti-U.S. sentiment in the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExamining the roots of anti-Americanism in Latin America, McPherson focuses on three major crises: the Cuban Revolution, the 1964 Panama riots, and U.S. intervention in the Dominican Republic. Deftly combining cultural and political analysis, he demonstrates the shifting and complex nature of anti-Americanism in each country and the love-hate ambivalence of most Latin Americans toward the United States. When rising panic over \"Yankee hating\" led Washington to try to contain foreign hostility, the government displayed a surprisingly coherent and consistent response, maintaining an ideological self-confidence that has outlasted a Latin American diplomacy torn between resentment and admiration of the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHowever, McPherson warns, U.S. leaders run a great risk if they continue to ignore the deeper causes of anti-Americanism. Written with dramatic flair, \u003ci\u003eYankee No!\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely, compelling, and carefully researched contribution to international history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan McPherson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674019970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674019973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 5.92w x 0.80d","brand":"Alan McPherson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054243574015,"sku":"9780674019973","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ee56aaa-c50a-4d23-ab1a-7537ad880f7b.jpg?v=1685028843","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yankee-no-alan-mcpherson-9780674019973","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
