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"

'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.'
