Whose America? The War of 1898 and the Battles to Define the Nation. Ed. by Virginia M. Bouvier. (Westport: Praeger, 2001. xii, 241 pp. $65.00, ISBN 0-275-96794-8.)

The idea for this collection of essays originated at a 1998 conference for both academics and policy makers on 'Challenges to Peace, 1898-1998,' held at the Library of Congress. A second volume, which focuses on United States foreign policy in Latin America in the twentieth century, is planned. The editor of this volume, Virginia M. Bouvier, assistant professor of Latin American literature, wrote an introduction and conclusion and contributed an essay, 'Imaging a Nation: U.S. Political Cartoons and the War of 1898.' Together, the eight essays in this collection explore, from a variety of national and thematic perspectives, the ways in which the War of 1898 stimulated and illuminated debates about 'national identity' in the geographic locations (Spain, the United States, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines) directly affected by the war. . . .
