How the United States Stole Mexico
Christy Thornton, an NYU historian of Mexico and Latin America, guides a tour through Mexico’s long history of foreign incursions. Short scenes trace 19th-century territorial loss, French and U.S. interventions, and recurring justifications for force. The conversation connects past invasions to modern threats and rehearsed rationales like drugs and security.
