Americans All provides an in-depth, fine-grained study of a particularly successful instance of cultural diplomacy?the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs (CIAA), a government agency established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940 and headed by Nelson A. Rockefeller that worked to promote hemispheric solidarity and combat Axis infiltration and domination by bolstering inter-American cultural ties. Darlene J. Sadlier explores how the CIAA used film, radio, the press, and various educational and high-art activities to convince people in the United States of the importance of good neighbor relations with Latin America, while also persuading Latin Americans that the United States recognized and appreciated the importance of our southern neighbors. She examines the CIAA?s working relationship with Hollywood?s Motion Picture Society of the Americas; its network and radio productions in North and South America; its sponsoring of Walt Disney, Orson Welles, John Ford, Gregg Toland, and many others who traveled between the United States and Latin America; and its close ties to the newly created Museum of Modern Art, which organized traveling art and photographic exhibits and produced hundreds of 16mm educational films for inter-American audiences; and its influence on the work of scores of artists, libraries, book publishers, and newspapers, as well as public schools, universities, and private organizations. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xDiplomatic history 606 $aCultural industries$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPopular culture$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zLatin America 607 $aLatin America$xRelations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xCultural policy 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1933-1945 607 $aUnited States$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xDiplomatic history. 615 0$aCultural industries$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aPopular culture$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 676 $a327.730809/04 700 $aSadlier$b Darlene J$g(Darlene Joy)$0447186 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785935703321 996 $aAmericans all$93718161 997 $aUNINA
