In this second edition, political scientist Luiz Alberto Moniz Bandeira has added an analysis of events that occurred after 1998, the date of the first edition, until Fidel Castro's removal from power in 2008. This edition also includes an insert with period photographs. The author highlights the role of Latin American countries, especially Brazil and Mexico, in crucial episodes of the Cuban Revolution, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The work is a reference among the literature on this important period of Latin American history, which is predominantly imbued with the American perspective. To provide a Brazilian perspective on the subject, the author spent two years researching confidential and secret documentation from the Itamaraty Historical Archives from the 1950s and 1960s, as well as other documents from key figures in international politics at the time, such as Francisco Clementino San Tiago Dantas, Minister of Foreign Affairs in the João Goulart administration. During the VIII Meeting of American Foreign Ministers in Punta del Este in 1962, the former minister played a key role in defending Cuba's right to self-determination. Moniz Bandeira contextualizes the Cuban Revolution within other revolutionary movements of the time, such as Peronism in Argentina (1945-1956) and the reformist regime in Guatemala (1944-1954), overthrown by the CIA. According to the author, these and other revolutions that occurred in Latin America shortly before the Cuban revolution are crucial to understanding the Cuban episode. The author argues that the establishment of a communist regime modeled on Eastern European countries was not a reflection of an action by the former USSR, but rather a consequence of US intolerance toward egalitarian public policies implemented on the island, such as agrarian reform. Moniz Bandeira concludes that the radicalization of the Cuban revolution was a defense of the country against the US, which threatened the island's sovereignty, and a way to secure its social gains.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176263958780,"sku":"9788520008669","price":149.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/85734346e9f5306ae9aca8baa64a43db.jpg?v=1778325963"},{"product_id":"brasil-estados-unidos-a-rivalidade-emergente-1950-1988","title":"Brazil - United States: The emerging rivalry (1950-1988)","description":"\"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe reference work \u003cem\u003eBrazil - United States: the emerging rivalry\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003e(1950-1988)\u003c\/em\u003e has been revised and expanded by Professor Luiz Alberto Moniz Bandeira.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe study reveals that the \"traditional friendship\" between the two countries has always been an ideological stereotype manipulated to influence Brazil's foreign policy. Based on extensive documentation, Moniz Bandeira shows how the relationship between the two American powers was not always smooth and peaceful. In the 19th century, Brazil suspended diplomatic relations with the United States three times (1827, 1847, and 1869) and did not passively accept its hegemony, even though, until the first half of the 20th century, it depended on exports to the North American giant. The demands of industrialization, driven by President Getúlio Vargas (1930-1945 and 1951-1954), exacerbated contradictions with the United States, which contributed decisively to the 1964 military coup. The \"brief and aberrant interlude,\" as American Ambassador John Crimmins called the government of Marshal Humberto Castelo Branco, was characterized by its \"automatic alignment\" with the United States, and Brazil's economic interests led to the reemergence of contradictions. Friction reached its peak with the signing of the Brazil-Germany Nuclear Agreement (1976) and the rupture of the Military Agreement with the United States by the government of General Ernesto Geisel in 1977.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrazil - United States: The Emerging Rivalry (1950-1988)\u003c\/em\u003e is not a stand-alone work.
