🕑 Added 2025-04-22 06:51:23 +0000 UTCHistorian and author Greg Grandin joins us to discuss his new book America, América: A New History of the New World, which looks at the five century history of colonization & conquest of the New World, and how North & South America developed their distinct identities through a long history of mutual engagement and opposition. We also catch up with Greg for his takes on the death of Pope Francis, the state of American empire at the start of the second Trump term, the U.S.’s lack of a forward-looking political horizon, and what possibilities we might see in the future of Latin America.

Oh shit i literally just finished reading Fordlandia on the 12th. I read Empire's Workshop in 2017 as part of a US/Latin America relations class. I own End of the Myth and plan on starting it up once I (begrudgingly) finish my essay/SoP for grad school.
