Abstract

"America, América: A New History of the New World" by Greg Grandin delves into the complex relationship between the United States and Latin America, tracing the origins of an international order rooted in respect for borders and rejection of conquest. The book explores how Latin American principles influenced global diplomatic and legal circles, challenging US expansionism and advocating for a rules-based international order. Grandin also examines the contrasting historical narratives of Spanish colonialism and Puritan North America, shedding light on the ethical complexities and racial dynamics that have shaped the region's history. The text offers a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the rise and fall of US support for international norms, making it a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of inter-American relations.
