Description
The US presence in the Caribbean has been manifested in multiple ways: invasion, military occupation and covert operations; economic relations, 鈥榙ollar diplomacy鈥� and experiments in education and social policy; and the penetration of US corporations, culture and value-systems, tourism and consumer goods. Caribbean responses to the US presence have been equally diverse. This module explores how the Caribbean has negotiated its 鈥榮ingular intimacy鈥� with its northern neighbour. It encourages historical approaches that go beyond traditional top-down perspectives, and draws on diverse primary sources, from CIA archives to calypsos, cartoons, and memorials. While the relationship to the United States has had profound consequences for the Caribbean, the direction of influence has been by no means one way.
