Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) reposted this
🎙️Our latest podcast interview is out! GCIR’s Ivy O. Suriyopas speaks with Maureen Meyer, Vice President of Programs at the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), about the historical context behind our new U.S. Intervention & Modern Migration in the Americas timeline. “We really need to recognize that the U.S. government’s policies have historically contributed to conditions in several countries in Latin America that have hindered economic development, favored U.S. businesses, weakened the rule of law, and supported (oftentimes) corrupt and repressive governments… We should also think of not only what the U.S. history has been, but how we can have a positive impact in the region moving forward,” she explains. 🎧 We invite you to listen at the link below. https://lnkd.in/gX7r23Jv
