Paria sans portefeuille"Before Nicolás Maduro and Hugo Chávez, there was #CiprianoCastro. Before Donald Trump, there was Theodore Roosevelt. And before petroleum, there was asphalt pitch. The following excerpt from #AmericaAmérica: A New History of the New World is a timely reminder that behind today’s headlines announcing any given crisis in #LatinAmerica often stands a long history of imperial outrages."

Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
A conversation with #GregGrandin about his new book, #AmericaAmérica, "a sweeping revision of #UShistory that argues we can’t understand the history of the #UnitedStates without understanding its long engagement with its neighbors to the south, in #LatinAmerica."

"The story of how the #UnitesStates identity was formed is almost invariably told by looking east to Europe. In #AmericaAmérica #GregGrandin vividly demonstrates that the nation’s unique sense of itself was in fact forged facing south toward #LatinAmerica"

“America, América”: Greg Grandin on Latin American History, from Colonization to <span class="caps">CECOT</span> to Pope Francis
We spend the hour with acclaimed historian Greg Grandin discussing his new book, America, América: A New History of the New World, which spans five centuries of North and South American history since the Spanish conquest, including the fight against fascism in the 1930s. He examines the U.S.-Latin American relationship under Trump, with a focus on El Salvador, Panama, Ecuador and Cuba. Grandin also has a new piece for The Intercept that draws on the book, headlined “The Long History of Lawlessness in U.S. Policy Toward Latin America.” “If the United States really has given up its role as superintending a global liberal order and the world is reverting back to these kind of spheres of power competitions, then Latin America becomes, essentially, much more important,” says Grandin. We also continue to examine the legacy of the late Pope Francis, the son of Italian immigrants to Argentina and the first pope from Latin America. Grandin shares how the Catholic Church’s involvement in the conquest and colonization of the continent impacted the pope’s beliefs.
'While the US Declaration of Independence is mute about #conquest and #colonization, Venezuela’s independence manifesto acknowledges that the new nation was built on stolen land, conquered through bloodshed. The word “society” appears 15 times in the Venezuelan Constitution, Grandin notes, while the US Constitution doesn’t mention it once.'
