Episode 1: Central America's Forgotten History w/ Dr. Aviva Chomsky

Across administrations, U.S. officials use a particular kind of doublespeak when talking about Central America. References to a "complex history" with the region are often used to down play the legacies of U.S.-sponsored coups, conflicts, and corruption that have driven millions of people to leave their homes. In this episode, Dr. Aviva Chomsky walks us through over one hundred years of history to get a big picture of the relationship between the United States and Central America. From the United Fruit Company to the U.S. southern border, we'll start identifying the deep connections that implicate the United States in the real "root causes" of migration.
