On the cusp of the 50th anniversary of the Brazilian military coup, Latin Pulse
looks backward at the important history of Brazil and how it was altered by this Cold War military take-over. The program includes the views of a historian researching the coup and its after-effects and also of an academic who lived through the military policies and saw the changes as Brazil began to democratize again in the 1980s. The news segment of the program covers the labor unrest in Paraguay that has hit that country's economy.
The program includes in-depth interviews with:
Victoria Langland, the University of Michigan; and
Cristina Pacheco, of the State University of Paraiba.
Executive Producer: Rick Rockwell; and
Associate Producer: Megan Ekhaml.

Latin Pulse: 3.07.2014
Elections and politics in Central America provide the central themes this week on Latin Pulse. The program looks at the politics and topics driving this weekend's elections in El Salvador. The program also covers the political and electoral topography in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The program compares the economic climate in El Salvador and how they differ from neighboring Honduras, and why that makes El Salvador a different and more stable political system. The news segment of the program covers the diplomatic spat between Venezuela, Panama and the United States, and the anti-government protests that have sparked the diplomatic disputes.
The program includes in-depth interviews with:
Geoff Thale of the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA); and
John Booth of the University of North Texas.
Executive Producer: Rick Rockwell; and
Associate Producer: Megan Ekhaml.
