The Second Century: U.S.Latin American Relations since 1889 focuses on U.S. relations with Latin America during the second century, a period bounded by the advent of the New Diplomacy late in the nineteenth century and the end of the Cold War about one hundred years later. This text provides a balanced perspective as it presents both the United Statess view that the Western Hemisphere needed to unite under a common democratic, capitalistic society, and the Latin American countries response to U.S. attempts to impose these goals on their southern neighbors. This book examines the reciprocal interactions between the two regions, each with distinctive purposes, outlooks, interests, and cultures. It also places U.S.Latin American relations within the larger context of global politics and economics. The Second Century is an excellent text for courses in Latin American history and diplomatic history.

Acknowledgments
While pursuing this project, I accumulated more debts to friends and colleagues than I can possibly acknowledge. I owe special thanks to Richard M. Hopper, vice president and general manager of Scholarly Resources, for his patience and enthusiasm. Also I am grateful for the friendship, good counsel, and hilarity of William H. Beezley of the University of Arizona and Judith Ewell of the College of William and Mary, the series editors. We go back many years. Don Coerver, former History Department chair, and Michael McCracken, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at my new base, Texas Christian University, allowed me the time and opportunity to complete this book. Most significant, my wife, Nancy, urged me in times of lethargy "to get the damn thing done" and accepted some wrenching but happy changes in our personal lives during the final stages. Of course, I alone have responsibility for errors and misconceptions.

Introduction
The Second Century is about U.S. relations with Latin America during a period bounded by the advent of the New Diplomacy late in the nineteenth century and the end of the Cold War about one hundred years later. The main themes center on the political and economic aspects of the relationship, taking two approaches. The first explores U.S. goals and tactics, that is, the nature of hegemony in the Western Hemisphere. The second examines Latin American responses, often nationalistic reactions to unwanted dependencies upon the Colossus of the North. To mitigate any tendency toward national self-centeredness, this work looks at reciprocal interactions between the two regions, each with distinctive purposes, outlooks, interests, and cultures. It also suggests the place of U.S.-Latin American relations within the larger context of global politics and economics.
