“…The anti-US sentiment evidenced in the flag riots in Panama of 1964 must be framed in Latin America as a response to interventionism rising from the Cold War (Cohn 2006;Cottan 1994). This was also evident in the role that the US played in Guatemala (1954) and Chile's (1973) coups to oust presidents Jacobo Arbenz and Salvador Allende, respectively, the support of contra forces in Nicaragua (1970s) against the Sandinistas, and the invasion of Granada (1983) to trump the New Jewel (Barcia 2009;Brands 2007;Langley 1988). This intervention policy of the United States fed the anti-US sentiment and protests appeared in the popular sectors of Latin America, growing from the image of Cesar Augusto Sandino's defiance of the US Marines in the 1930s to the Cuban Revolution of 1959 (Langley 1988;McPherson 2003;Tai et al 1973).…”

“…It is important to highlight that along with most of these manifestations of anti‐US sentiment, extensive narratives that challenged and defied the position of the United States in Latin America were articulated by diverse sectors. This anti‐US narrative was evident from the assembly depositions in Cuba in 1902 to the newspapers and radio in Panama (1950s) and Bolivia (1960s), to the debates of the Tricontinental Conference in Havana Cuba in 1966 (Barcia 2009; Pérez 1999; Schoonover 1989; Siekmeier 2000). Thus, the anti‐US sentiment was articulated in written words across the continent, making it more pervasive as it filtered into other areas of political life.…”

In recent years, Latin America has experienced a shift toward the left, bringing attention to the significance of US‐Latin America relations and the history of resistance that these dynamics have engendered. While the voices and faces of these resistance movements may be perceived as new, their roots date back to the turn of the 20th century. The emergence of an anti‐American narrative from diverse sectors in Latin America as part of a response to US policies – political, military, and economic – provides an opportunity for reflection on this history. By examining US policy towards Latin America, and the emerging forms of resistance from local sectors in response to policies on sovereignty, militarism, and neoliberalism, we can better situate the ‘anti‐American’ resistance movements of today.

“…The Tricontinental was a conference of revolutionary movements from Africa, Asia, and Latin America (Primera Conferencia de Solidaridad de Los Pueblos de Africa, Asia, America Latina), which emerged from two important dynamics both linked to the anti-colonial movements (Barcia 2009). First, the dynamic of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), created in 1961, which included certain regimes with a more conciliatory attitude towards the colonial empires.…”
