Biography
Timothy M. Gill is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. He has published within both academic and public outlets on topics including Venezuelan politics, U.S. global empire, and sociological theory.
"Gill assembled a top-notch and diverse group of scholars to examine the state of U.S. empire in Latin America in the Donald Trump era. This timely and comprehensive volume is a worthy addition to the debate over shifts in U.S. influence in the region."—Gregory Weeks, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
"A fine collection of essays that provides valuable insights into the operation of U.S. empire in the Americas under President Donald Trump. It details the attempts to maintain U.S. hegemony through a revival of the Monroe Doctrine while emphasising the limits to what can be achieved in the new global conjuncture." — Victor Bulmer-Thomas, Institute of the Americas, UCL
