This series contains mixed materials relating to the work of NACLA. Various projects are recorded here though special attention should go to the development of NACLA's "Yanqui Dollar" study. Shown here in its proposed, developmental, and final state, the Yanqui Dollar Study sought to examine U.S. corporate investment in Latin America. Later newsletters and news packets would emphasize how U.S. private investments had led to Latin America's state of underdevelopment.
This series is arranged roughly chronologically.
The North American Congress on Latin America was founded in November 1966, and sought to "examine and debate the official and mainstream coverage of the Johnson Administration's April 1965 invasion of the Dominican Republic." The NACLA currently provides "policy makers, analysts, academics, organizers, journalists and religious and community groups with information on U.S.-Latin American relations on a range of political, social and economic issues in the Americas.
