About
David M. K. Sheinin is Professor of History at Trent University (Canada). His 2006 book _Argentina and the United States: An Alliance Contained_ (University of Georgia Press) was described in the Hispanic American Historical Review, by the historian Glenn J. Dorn, as “masterful.” Dorn noted that “there are a few scholars in every generation who possess the range, expertise, and perspective to produce a truly first-rate survey, and Sheinin clearly falls within this elite group.” The historian James F. Siekmeier called the book "excellent" and wrote in Diplomatic History that "undoubtedly, the book will be the standard one-volume study of Argentine-U.S. relations for years to come."
Sheinin has won several awards and distinctions for his scholarship. In 2005, in recognition of the body of his work, he was appointed a member of the Argentine National Academy of History (the first and only Canadian ever designated). In 2011 he was named "Amigo de Eloisa." His many books and articles include two recent, short books on boxing and Argentine society, _El boxeador poeta_ [The Boxer Poet] (Eloisa Cartonera, 2010) and _El boxeador incrédulo_ [The Incredulous Boxer] (Eloisa Cartonera, 2011). Sheinin was elected to a term as President of the Middle Atlantic Council of Latin American Studies, held the J. Franklin Jameson Fellowship in American History (Library of Congress/American Historical Association), and in 2008 was named Edward Larocque Tinker Visiting Professor in Latin American History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Sheinin wrote “The Caribbean and the Cold War: Between Reform and Revolution,” in Stephan Palmié and Francisco A. Scarano, eds., _The Caribbean: An Illustrated History_ (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2011). His book (tentatively titled) _Silent Conspirators: Ordinary Argentinians in the Dirty War_ will be published by the University Press of Florida.
