President
Franklin D. Roosevelt's anti-interventionist shift in Central and South
America aimed to ease authoritarian relations. Today, with Latin-American
leaders thumbing their noses at US aid, it's not just the US deciding
who's friend or foe. Ricardo Hausmann, Director of the Center for International
Development at Harvard University; Greg Grandin, author of Empire's
Workshop: Latin America, the United States, and the Rise of the New
Imperialism; and Charlotte Dennett and Gerard Colby, co-authors of Thy
Will Be Done: The Conquest of the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism
in the Age of Oil, will discuss cultural stereotypes, fair trade, and
the new face of foreign relations.
