Summary

The United States and the Caribbean: Transforming Hegemony and Sovereignty provides the first comprehensive assessment of post-Cold War U.S.-Caribbean relations. Focusing on Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Trinidad-Tobego, the book looks at the political history of the region during the Cold War years, the region's current political economy, international security, and issues of migration and crime. Spanning the Caribbean's linguistic and cultural subregions--Spanish, French, English, and Dutch--the volume calls attention to the achievements, setbacks, and concerns that are common to the region.
