Panama: Canal, Invasion, and Legacy

For centuries, the US has officially and unofficially treated the entirety of Latin America as its 'backyard,' a position long-enshrined in the Monroe Doctrine. The nations of Central America in particular have long endured the suffocating embrace of their northern neighbor. From CIA-backed coups and genocidal civil wars in Guatemala and El Salvador to the US invasion of Panama, Central America is still living with the legacy and ongoing violence of US imperialism. In an all-new podcast co-produced by The Real News and NACLA, Mike Fox takes a deep dive into the history and present of US meddling in the region. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Mike Fox about his upcoming project, "Under the Shadow."
