0:55bolts items which will include details
0:56about the third and final Nack report on
0:59the Americas and everyone let's go and
1:00get started and let's see what's
1:01happening in chapters 5 and six of born
1:03blood and
1:06fire now then in chapter 5 chastin
1:09examines the early days of Latin
1:10America's first governments and the
1:12study outline is on page 3.2 in this
1:14chapter chastin discusses how these
1:16early governments suffered from a lack
1:18of resources and numerous obstacles the
1:20Persistence of hierarchical structures
1:22and how economic stagnation Dash the
1:24hopes of idealistic Patriots liberal
1:26political ideology particularly that of
1:28what the United States was promoting
1:30clashed with the traditional societies
1:31left over from the colonial era
1:33conservative ideals appealed to the
1:35common people especially due to the
1:36legacy of the Catholic Church thus as we
1:38saw last week ideas like hegemony and
1:40patriarchy were still persistent
1:42economic Devastation from the wars for
1:44Independence was still a problem
1:45therefore any attempt by liberal
1:46governments to develop their nations
1:48were effectively stillborn many
1:51politicians viewed government as a means
1:53of personal enrichment and the C system
1:54leadership would be firmly established
1:57among the most infamous from the period
1:58were Juan Manuel D Ro in Argentina and
2:01Antonio Lopez and Santa Ana in Mexico
2:03many constitutions were written to
2:04reflect this political reality in which
2:06power was in the hands of the gdio or
2:07the military while federalism broke up
2:09some of the larger political units like
2:10greater Colombia and Central America on
2:13the other hand as Chine points out
2:15Brazil had a different path of
2:16development as European monarchy slavery
2:19the role of the church and the cash crop
2:20economy of coffee all combined to ensure
2:22that Brazil was a bit more stable
2:24compared to its Spanish-speaking
2:25neighbors later later on in the chapter
2:28chastin talks about the idea of TR
2:29culturation again as well as nativism
2:31and hegemony as for the lives of women
2:34they were excluded from the major
2:35changes brought about by Independence
2:37but some did achieve fame by having
2:39connections to powerful men or by
2:41breaking gender rules or both the cast
2:43system that was a Hallmark of the
2:45colonial era still persisted but wealth
2:46was more of the determining Factor not
2:49so much race anymore in terms of
2:51international relations and economy most
2:52of the Latin American republics were
2:54ored toward England France and the
2:56United States for liberals these
2:58epitomized progress and civiliz ation
3:00international trade was predicated on
3:02export economies like coffee and sugar
3:04but in Peru it was bird pooo or guano
3:07that was highly priced in Europe for its
3:08fertilizer capabilities not surprisingly
3:11because of the economic benefits of the
3:14region gunbook diplomacy was standard
3:16practice of both the European powers and
3:18the United States to protect their
3:20interests then the chapter concludes
3:21with the discussion of the US Mexico
3:23which resulted in the US annexing half
3:25of Mexico's territory which is now
3:26places like California New Mexico
3:28Arizona and portions of Colorado and
3:30Utah I felt Justine could have discussed
3:32this topic earlier in the chapter or
3:33maybe in another but I do understand the
3:35problem he may have had with discussing
3:37the subject the US Mexico War has been
3:39sometimes viewed as a radioactive
3:41subject in both us and Latin American
3:43history it something doesn't really fit
3:44the narrative on the larger scope of
3:46these histories especially with the US
3:48that war seemed to contradict the ideals
3:50that the nation stood for and since
3:51Civil War started just over a decade
3:54since the end of the US Mexico War it's
3:55not very surprised that older United
3:57States history books from the first half
3:59of the 20 Century tended to ignore that
4:01episode but on the other hand that war
4:03is a defining moment in Cho history and
4:05it's a standard Topic in those classes
4:07let's move on now to chapter 6 The study
4:09outline is on page 3.3 and in this
4:12chapter chess discusses the notion of
4:14progress and that's certainly been a
4:16complicated issue in Latin America on
4:17many levels one could make the case that
4:19the region has had a love fate
4:21relationship with that idea so what does
4:23progress mean within the context of
4:25Latin America well as chastine points
4:27out to start the chapter conservatism
4:29was the dominant political philosophy in
4:30the aftermath of Independence but after
4:32the 1850s liberalism made a comeback and
4:35by liberalism this mainly refers to the
4:36expansion of economic markets and much
4:38like what was happening in the United
4:41States around this time were seen in the
4:43region developments in transportation
4:44and Communications especially with the
4:46railroads but the ideological
4:48underpinnings underpinnings of progress
4:50correlate to what's happening with
4:51Europe in the aftermath of the
4:52Industrial Revolution as well as the
4:55consolidation of nation states like
4:56Germany and Italy of course Great
4:58Britain was still the dominant European
5:00power at the time however as chastine
5:02points out the Catholic church was one
5:04conservative stronghold still powerful
5:05in the region and Ben thees and his
5:07liberal allies in Mexico sure found that
5:09out the hard way but wus was just one of
5:12many liberal leaders who felt that there
5:13was no reason why Mexico could not
5:14develop along lines of the United States
5:17whis really admired the idea of Thomas
5:18Jefferson this notion of an a greatan
5:20republic and self-sufficient nation of
5:22farmers but conservatives were not too
5:24happy with this idea and conservatives
5:26not once but twice tried to sabotage W's
5:29plans this is where the the French
5:31intervention period comes in and this is
5:33when the famous Sink of the Mario battle
5:34in 1862 takes place just as a side note
5:37keep in mind that Mexico was already an
5:39independent nation for 40 years when
5:40this battle happened it's not Mexican
5:42Independence Day although the beer
5:43companies would certainly have you to
5:45believe that in addition to Mexico then
5:48chestin talks about the liberal Trends
5:49in Colombia Chile and Central America
5:51well in Central America that was fa of
5:53mind to study at Sano state was
5:54Guatemala and of course hear about
5:56Guatemala now with the immigration
5:58crisis along the border as as for women
6:00they saw few benefits from liberalism
6:02education expanded very slowly and few
6:04occupied leading roles in public life
6:06but some did achieve fame through
6:07writing such as Han Manuela gorti and
6:10clorina M the Turner meanwhile in
6:12Argentina you had people like Domingo
6:14foso sento who were obsessed with
6:17European ideals of progress to the point
6:19that they accepted scientific racism
6:21ideas this is the same kind of Ann you
6:23saw in the United States in the early
6:2420th century that believed that
6:25African-Americans Asians and people of
6:27Southern and Eastern European descent
6:29were somehow inferior to the Nordic
6:31people of northern and western Europe
6:33for example sento believed that the G
6:35populations were subhuman meanw well in
6:37Brazil factors like monarchy slavery and
6:39the mixed race population made it
6:41virtually impossible for Liberal
6:42thinking to take root early on but after
6:45the war Triple Alliance gradually
6:46liberalism began to slowly creep in in
6:48fact Brazil's flag has the motto or
6:51Progresso which means order and progress
6:54now one major theme in this class that
6:55I'd like to present is how mural art
6:57promotes themes of power self-id
6:59ification nationalism Etc and that's
7:01absolutely evident in the Treasure we
7:03have here in san county that of course
7:04being Cho Park but to get a a preview of
7:07the power and the Grandeur of this type
7:08of artwork let's check out the
7:10PowerPoint program on the Diego deda
7:12Detroit industry mural series we'll
7:14start off with a trip to the Motor City
7:15and many of the graphics that you'll see
7:17are from my own personal collection of
7:18photos that I've taken over the years of
7:20netto's work in Detroit as well as some
7:22photos of some actual newspaper
7:24clippings from the Detroit News
7:25newspapers at the time and it's a result
7:27of a visit I made to Detroit to see the
7:28Diego and frao exhibit at the Detroit
7:31Institute of Arts in 2015 which
7:33commemorated the time in which both
7:35artists were in Detroit during 1932 1933
7:37while he was working on the murals many
7:39art historians contend that Detroit was
7:41a pivotal moment for both of them that
7:43period marked the creative Zenith of
7:46Diego's career but it also marked the
7:48origins of freda's emergence as a
7:50well-known and popular artist in fact
7:51one could make the case that Freda is
7:53more popular today than her husband in
7:55terms of popular culture but for the
7:57murals themselves what Riva captures is
7:59a pivotal moment in uh US history on so
8:01many levels this amazing NE series
8:03examines labor themes popular American
8:05culture as evidenced by the inclusion of
8:07movie stars like Jee harlo and Comic
8:10characters like the cats and Jammer kids
8:12there's also coverage of us Latin
8:14American relations the development of
8:15American industry and of course the
8:17emergence of O Henry Ford as an
8:19industrial celebrity and as an artist of
8:21course we'll see more of Old Henry when
8:23we start the Ford landia readings but
8:25what Retta tried to convey was a notion
8:27that industry is like a work of art or
8:29Symphony there are so many parts that
8:31are connected uh in intricate ways which
8:33create a masterpiece in other words
8:35foretta the final product the 1932 Ford
8:38V8 car is not what is the objective it
8:40is the process the interplay of human
8:42labor with Machinery that is what is
8:44most important so when you see the
8:45murals in person you get the idea of the
8:48power and Majesty of American industry
8:50Through The Eyes of Diego Riva to me
8:52Riva industry as something of an art
8:54form not so much a tool of the
8:56capitalist class to exploit the workers
8:58but of course Retta certainly shows his
8:59support for the working class at various
9:00intervals of the mural series and I
9:02examine that in the PowerPoint program
9:03so yes please check out the program and
9:05don't feel overwhelmed by the amount of
9:07detail that I present what I tried to do
9:09was convey a panorama where you start by
9:12looking at the East wall of the murals
9:14and then the rest of the cardinal points
9:16buta is trying to tell you a story when
9:18you're there at the Museum I'm going try
9:20to convey his perspective to all of you
9:22like a most amazing examples of artwork
9:25R created an amazing Masterpiece that
9:26can be interpreted by multiple points of
9:28view depending on your own perspective
9:30capitalists will praise the work as a
9:31shining examples of the wonders of
9:33Industry while workers will Marvel at
9:35the apparent Pro labor themes but I
9:37think for chanos mexican-americans uh
9:39retta's work helped to bridge the gap
9:40between the Revolutionary rhetoric of
9:42the Mexican Revolution which will cover
9:44uh more later on in the session and the
9:47day-to-day issues facing uh
9:49working-class chos and other people of
9:50color such as Asians and
9:52African-Americans some of whom are
9:53featured in the mural series but ev's
9:55powerful Masterpiece in an urban United
9:58States setting would set a template for
9:59future Cho artists to follow in their
10:02respective cities especially the the
10:03Sago artists who developed Cho Park in
10:05the late 1960s and early 1970s and we'll
10:08actually see more Cho par in this module
10:09so let's move on now to page 3.4 on page
10:133.4 is both the film which was produced
10:15in the late 1980s as well as a detailed
10:17summary about the film this documentary
10:20provides you with an excellent look at
10:21the factors leading up to the creation
10:23of the park as well as the major movers
10:25and shakers of both the park development
10:27and the Forma stages of M among the
10:29people will meet include Victor Ooa one
10:32of the first muralists to work on the
10:34project Chana artist Yolanda Lopez who
10:36talks about the struggles that some of
10:37the chigas had to deal with and the lake
10:39gr Ramon chuny Sanchez the longtime head
10:42of the park steering committee chuny
10:43passed away in 2016 but he left an
10:46enduring Legacy for organizing and music
10:48music that will never be forgotten also
10:50included with the film and summary is a
10:52brief video from the Sano Union Tribune
10:53about one of the more recent And Timely
10:55murals which indicates that the park and
10:57its murals today are not m historical
10:59and cultural relics but are reflection
11:01of the Contemporary realities facing the
11:03Cho Community today so check out all
11:05this on page 3.4 and be sure to get to
11:07know the various artists and activists
11:08mentioned in the film there will be a
11:10few questions on them coming up in Quiz
11:123 now finally let's talk about Foria
11:15this week please check out the
11:16introduction chapter as well as part one
11:17of the book which covers chapters 1-8
11:20the themes of progress and
11:21neocolonialism certainly permeate the
11:23story and on page 3.5 is a list of key
11:25terms and Concepts that correlate with
11:27these readings my suggestion to you is
11:29that you print out the worksheet and as
11:31you go through the readings write down
11:33the page numbers where the topic is
11:34mentioned this way I can easily refer
11:36back to those topics since the next Quiz
11:38we'll have coverage of the story but the
11:40main thing I want to mention about the
11:41fora story for now and I'll certainly
11:43say more about the story in the next two
11:44modules is that Greg grin's book can be
11:47considered as a parable in that the
11:49excessive Pride that Mr Ford and his
11:50people had in trying to establish a
11:52rubber Plantation in the middle of the
11:54Amazon basin is a testament to how
11:56pervasive this idea of American
11:57exceptionalism really is and the idea
12:00that Henry Ford's model of efficiency or
12:02fordism uh can easily be transplanted
12:05from Deerborne to the Amazon basin if
12:07you want to see how fordism really works
12:09I highly recommend you watch Charlie
12:10Chaplin's amazing film modern times it
12:13was his last major silent film for that
12:15era in Hollywood films but as we're
12:18trying to impose fordism in the Amazon
12:20you just can't do that type of stuff for
12:21a variety of reasons gron begins to
12:23outline those reasons early on in the
12:25book and in the book gron also refers to
12:27the Warner herock film fits coraldo
12:29which is a perfect metaphor for the
12:30madness in trying to tame and conquer
12:32the Amazon re region but in the
12:35introduction to fortlandia you get a
12:36sense of the Protestant mentality that
12:38drove Henry fort in the first place and
12:40how as grandon put it that made Fort
12:42landia quintessentially American was the
12:44way frustrated idealism was built into
12:46its conception Ford essentially
12:48subscribed to the idea of primitive
12:50americanism which in a way was the early
12:5220 Century version of the idea of
12:54manifest destiny then part one of the
12:56book gr provides an excellent Panorama
12:58of the the forces that led to the
13:00conception of fordlandia we read about
13:02Ford's early days in terms of business
13:04with his early fourways into Politics
13:06the expansion of the robber trade which
13:08chasen uh discussed in chapter 7 of born
13:10blood and fire us involvement in World
13:12War I Ford's relations with his workers
13:15his anti-Semitism the politics of Brazil
13:17that created the conditions for for L's
13:19conception the geography of the Amazon
13:21the antics of some of his men and in
13:22their attempt to promote Mr Ford's
13:24Vision in a way Fords men were kind of
13:27like acted like the k who acted in their
13:29own interest when they came to the new
13:30world in the 16th century like cores and
13:33pisaro King Carlos ofth had an awful
13:35time controlling these guys now some of
13:37these guys mentioned in the story
13:38certainly gave Old Henry many s
13:40sleepless nights and I'll list a few of
13:42those wacky characters in the study
13:44guide well again everyone now I'm back
13:46with you for the remainder of this video
13:48before I get to the nuts and bolts items
13:49in the module such as the third na

14:31the world as both an industrialist and
14:33International Celebrity too now coming
