HLAS annotation: This sophisticated study of the work of five leading Latin Americanists based in the US sheds valuable insights on the often subtle but, in the last analysis, substantial role of imperialistic thinking in academia in the early 20th century. Salvatore provides a close reading of the publications of Hiram Bingham, Clarence Haring, Leo Rowe, Isaiah Bowman, and Edward Ross accompanied by perceptive biographical portraits. The result is an examination of influential academics navigating the shifting currents of scholarly judgements, policy debates, political controversies, and public perceptions surrounding the increasingly dominant presence of the US.
