Now, as the US tightens sanctions on Venezuela, our country is responsible for impacting that nation’s ability to fight off the coronavirus pandemic, which will lead to more death and create more refugees, thus endangering all of us, as the pandemic will spread. This policy is as immoral as it is unwise. Kevin Young is assistant professor of history at UMass Amherst, focusing on modern Latin America. His book ?Blood of the Earth: Resource Nationalism, Revolution, and Empire in Bolivia (2017) traces the history of Bolivian struggles over mineral and hydrocarbon resources, highlighting the complex legacies of Bolivian resource nationalism and in the process reappraising the country’s 1952 revolution and the Cold War. He is also the editor of Making the Revolution: Histories of the Latin American Left (2019), which challenges stereotypes of the twentieth-century left as urban, middle-class, and blind to the complexities of racial, gender, and national identities. His other research analyzes social movements, coalitional politics, and political power in the Andes, Central America, and the United States.
