Coloniality at Large: The Western Hemisphere and the Colonial Horizon of Modernity

Abstract

B efore the Cold War, the closest the United States had ever come to a permanent foreign policy was in our relationship with the nations of the Western Hemisphere. In 1823, the Monroe Doctrine proclaimed our determination to insulate the Western Hemisphere from the contests over the European balance of power, by force if necessary. And for nearly a century afterward, the causes of America’s wars were to be found in the Western Hemisphere: in the wars against Mexico and Spain, and in threats to use force to end Napoleon III’s effort to install a European dynasty in Mexico. 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
