The Real News from Latin America

Good discussion here from Pepe Escobar and Forrest Hylton on Latin American affairs, looking in particular at the role of the US and the prospects for policy change under a President Obama.

Also on the same topic, historian Greg Grandin gives an authoritative analysis here. His recent book on Latin America's place in the broader history of US imperialism is well worth a read. As is Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine", which is excellent on recent Latin American history (and in so many other ways).

And finally, check out this blog on Venezuela. Its a bit special.
