“This is an edited volume looking at the establishment of a system of repression in Latin America, starting in the 1960s and going into the 1990s, from the Cold War to the War on Drugs. The argument made is set within (neo-)Marxist approaches to international relations. It suggests that the system of repression is established either at the direction of or with the complicity of the United States—understood correctly as the hegemon or dominant power—in order to maintain a system of economic and financial exploitation of Latin America. I find the argument quite persuasive, but whether one buys into this overall theoretical framework or not, is beside the point. The chapters themselves are incredibly detailed, and they provide some of the best analysis I’ve seen of the repression conducted by several countries in Latin America and of the rationales behind this repression.” Read more...
