DESCRIPTION:Wed, April 7, 6-7pm Pacific time\n\nKPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents:\n\nGreg 
 Grandin & Brian Edwards-Tiekert Zoom Event\nEmpire's Workshop: Latin 
 America, the U.S., and the Rise of the New Imperialism\n\n"Grandin has 
 always been a brilliant historian; now he uses his detective skills in a 
 book that is absolutely crucial to understanding our present." -Naomi 
 Klein, author of No Logo\n\n"Greg Grandin knows the history of modern 
 Guatemala better than anybody else in the world outside of that country-and 
 therefore understands the nature of U.S. attitudes and action toward Latin 
 America at their most disturbing. This grants him keen insight into the 
 manic ferocity behind U.S. imperialism across the globe today, which he 
 describes in fine, rich, vivid, bitter detail. Grandin also shrewdly 
 observes that the outrages possible in little U.S. neo-colonies are not so 
 easy to accomplish on a grand scale... -John Womack, author of 
 Zapata\n\nThe British and Roman empires are often invoked as precedents to 
 the Bush administration's aggressive foreign policy. But America's imperial 
 identity was actually shaped much closer to  home. In a brilliant 
 excavation of long-obscured history, Empire's Workshop shows how Latin 
 America has functioned as a proving ground for American strategies and 
 tactics overseas. Historian Greg Grandin follows the United States' 
 imperial operations from Jefferson's aspirations for an "empire of liberty" 
 in Cuba and Spanish Florida to Bush's policies, where many of the 
 administration's leading lights first embraced the deployment of military 
 power to advance free market economics and enlisted the evangelical 
 movement in support of their ventures.\n\nGreg Grandin is the author of 
 Fordlandia, Empire's Workshop, The Last Colonial Massacre, and the 
 award-winning The Blood of Guatemala. \n\nBrian Edwards-Tiekert is the 
 founder and co-host of UpFront, the morning drive-time public affairs 
 program on KPFA Radio.\n\nSuggested Donation $5-$20.\n
