In Their Own Best Interest

A History of the U.S. Effort to Improve Latin Americans

Beschreibung

For over a century the U.S. has "improved" the peoples of Latin America by promoting everything from representative democracy and economic development to oral hygiene. How did this paternalistic practice evolve and spread globally and what are the troubling consequences for a country with a habit of giving-and for others with a habit of receiving?
