Abstract

This article studies the National Geographic magazine as a “machine” producing and transmitting representations of the Caribbean during the 1898-2012 period. These representations, it is argued, convey the relationships of the United States with the Caribbean as well as its economic, diplomatic and strategic interests in the region. The article gives special attention to Cuba and Puerto Rico. By historically analyzing the journal’s pictures and texts, this piece aims to reveal new ways of understanding how the United States has built its relationships with the Caribbean.
