While traditional Cold War histories of the region have examined diplomatic, intelligence, and military operations and more recent studies have probed the cultural dimensions of the conflict, the experts who constitute the focus of this volume escaped these categories. Although they often portrayed themselves as removed from politics, their work contributed to the key geopolitical agendas of the day. The paths traveled by the experts in this volume not only traversed Latin America and connected Latin America to the Global North, they also stretch traditional chronologies of the Latin American Cold War to show how local experts in the early twentieth century laid the foundation for post-World War II development projects, and how Cold War knowledge of science, technology, and the environment continues to impact our world today. These essays unite environmental history and the history of science and technology to argue for the importance of expertise in the Latin American Cold War"-- $c Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a Cold War (1945-1989) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01754978 651 0 $a Latin America $x Foreign economic relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign economic relations $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Technical assistance $z Latin America $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Expertise $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Technical assistance, American $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Economic assistance, American $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Economic development $z Latin America $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Economic development $x Environmental aspects $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Cold War. 650 7 $a Economic assistance, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901618 650 7 $a Economic development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901785 650 7 $a Economic development $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901808 650 7 $a Expertise. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918532 650 7 $a International economic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976891 650 7 $a Technical assistance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01144732 650 7 $a Technical assistance, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01144755 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Chastain, Andra B., $e editor. 700 1 $a Lorek, Timothy, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200603011904.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A11CBA6A55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
