Mapping U.S. Interventions: Group projects from No One’s Backyard: Revolution in the Caribbean

Over the course of 200 years, U.S. empire has used Latin America and the Caribbean as its playground, exerting its power over the entire Americas. This experimentation spans beyond military maneuvers, incorporating diverse legal justifications and operations to justify military invasions. The region has served as a crucial site for the U.S. to refine its strategies for dominance and over the past 200 years, the U.S. has actively shaped the political landscape in the region, orchestrating numerous regime changes, occupations, wars and invasions, all to safeguard empire’s interests. Participants in the course were tasked with the ‘task’ of exposing U.S. imperialism in its ‘backyard’. Each group delved into the task of tracking and mapping U.S. interventions in the region, investigating the backgrounds and repercussions of these involvements.
