Table of ContentsReviewsCivic Buildings after the Spanish-American War is a significant expansion of our understanding of the impact of United States colonialism on its colonies and other territories in the Caribbean and Latin America, such as Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Panama. Achurra G.'s historical research underscores the contradiction that exists in the American Beaux-Arts and the City Beautiful Movement in architecture and city planning as the manifestation of American exceptionalism and colonialism and at the same time the expression of an elusive democracy. This clearly shows that the histories of the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America of the early twentieth century are inextricably intertwined.--Edson G.
