ESSAY ON: Michael Latham/Modernization as Ideology

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: A 4 page book review. Michael E. Latham, an associate professor of history at Fordham University, provides provocative insight into the manner in which theories of modernization were highly influential to American policymakers during the Kennedy Administration. The principal argument of Latham's text is that perspective on modernization traveled beyond their origins in academia to become an influential force in shaping both American foreign policy and how Americans perceived of themselves in terms of national identity. Examination of this text shows that Latham's argument is detailed, scholarly and sheds new light on the mechanisms behind the perpetuation of the Cold War. No additional sources cited.
