Debating Latin America's Cold War: A vision from the south

The historiography on Latin America's Cold War has grown significantly in the last few years. But though the field has expanded in ways that include new perspectives, much could be gained by engaging more closely with voices from the South or works produced by scholars based in Latin America. Similarly, more nuanced analytical framings that pay closer attention to post-World War II development, particularly in South America, would also enrich our understanding of the complex and multidimensional experiences of the Cold War in the region. We demonstrate this point by examining the works of rising Latin American scholars working on the hemispheric and international dimensions of the Latin America's Cold War, showing that this literature needs to be integrated into existing accounts.
