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"
