Beyond the Map
Daniel Immerwahr's How to Hide an Empire , recently published to much fanfare, takes as its starting point what Immerwahr calls a “conceptual filing error.” Born from his surprise at visiting the Philippines and encountering streets “named after US colleges” and university students speaking “virtually unaccented English,” the book contends that while most people have heard of the “big wars” the United States has waged, “the actual territory” of U…
Petrodocumentary and the Remaking of New Deal Culture
Petrodocumentary and the Remaking of New Deal Culture Molly Geidel (bio) In 1942 Assistant Attorney General Thurman W. Arnold launched an investigation into Standard Oil of New Jersey (SONJ)'s relationship with the German petrochemical company IG Farben.

Cinemas and Spectators of International Development
This article tracks how mid-20th century US and Latin American documentary filmmakers created a visual and narrative repertoire that encouraged spectators worldwide to imagine a global transformation from the stagnant living death of underdevelopment to striving, productive life-in-development. It explores how development institutions, theorists, and filmmakers made connections between the experience of spectatorship and the odd mixture of passiv…

Life and the Pedagogy of Counterinsurgency, 1961–64
This article investigates the role Life magazine played in explaining Cold War counterinsurgency ventures to its readers. After examining Life’s general strategy for emotionally enlisting readers in Third World counterinsurgency, the article focuses on how two photo essays about Bolivia—Dmitri Kessel’s 1961 “A Tormented, Grim Land” and Michael Rougier’s 1964 “Hostages of a Mob of Miners"—formulated these counterinsurgency tactics. The first set o…

Messing with the Enemy
This paper examines a shift in cultural and movement discourse in Bolivia, arguing that as neoliberalizing governments and organizations attempted to enforce ‘surgical’ austerity measures, indigenous movements and aligned intellectuals began to focus on internal rather than external threats, naming and attempting to expel the figure of the traitorous intermediary from the national body. By analyzing Jorge Sanjinés’ 1989 drama La Nación Clandestin…

After outlining the development discourse that explicitly guided both the Peace Corps and the Revolutionary Nationalist (MNR) government of Bolivia …
