This series investigated the actions and aftermath of U.S. intervention in Latin America between the dates 1904-1981 as embodied by the natural landscapes of different Latin American countries.  Using southern Mexico, Chile, and Argentina as the focus for these studies, I considered the different approaches to intervention and how those dictated the politics and social makeup of these countries. I concentrated on how Latin-American-US relations led to a broader influence on the national identity of each Latin American country, focusing on how identity is inseparably linked to the physical lands under the idea of patria. In order to intimately model of the complexity behind the erasure of politics, culture, and identity in each host country, I questioned the formation of latinx patria  paying homage to the complex formation of identity via the lesser told narratives of the “losers” of war whose legacy continues to shape the cross-continental narrative of latinx identity.
