In addition to the NACLA Report on the Americas, NACLA publishes books, anthologies and pamphlets for classroom and activist use. Some of our most important historic publications include Who Rules Columbia? (1968), the NACLA Research Methodology Guide (1970), and the Incredible Rocky series of comic books (1973). We hope to have more of these publications available online in the future.

Latin America after Neoliberalism: Turning the Tide in the 21st Century?
Edited by Eric Hershberg and Fred Rosen
The New Press

Beginning in the 1980s, Latin America became a laboratory for the ideas and policies of neoliberalism. Now the region is an epicenter of dissent from neoliberal ideas and resistance to U.S. economic and political dominance; Latin America’s political map is being redrawn. Published in conjunction with The New Press, Latin America After Neoliberalism attempts to make sense of the ongoing upheavals throughout the continent as it moves into the vanguard of an international rejection of neoliberalism for a new and viable progressive alternative.

The World of Mexican Migrants: The Rock and the Hard Place
By Judith Adler Hellman
The New Press

The World of Mexican Migrants looks at the aftereffects of the radical economic and political shifts of Mexico in the 1990s through the eyes of those who, no longer able to eke out even a modest living in their homeland, have come to the United States.Drawing on five years of in-depth interviews, Hellman offers a much-needed humanizing perspective on the estimated 6 million undocumented Mexican migrants living in the United States, people whose voices are rarely heard in the din of angry political debate and talk-radio rhetoric on immigration.

Empire's Workshop: Latin America, the United States, and the Rise of the New Imperialism
By Greg Grandin
Metropolitan Books

A brilliant excavation of a long-obscured history, Empire's Workshop is the first book to show how Latin America has functioned as a laboratory for American extraterritorial rule. Historian Greg Grandin follows the United States' imperial operations, from Thomas Jefferson's aspirations for an "empire of liberty" in Cuba and Spanish Florida, to Ronald Reagan's support for brutally oppressive but U.S.-friendly regimes in Central America. He traces the origins of Bush's policies to Latin America, where many of the administration's leading lights -- John Negroponte, Elliott Abrams, Otto Reich -- first embraced the deployment of military power to advance free-market economics and first enlisted the evangelical movement in support of their ventures.
