Patrick Iber: Author of "Neither Peace nor Freedom: The Cultural Cold War in Latin America," which will be published by Harvard University Press in October 2015. Beginning fall 2015, I will be assistant professor of US international history at the University of Texas at El Paso. In 2014 - 2015, I taught in the political economy program at UC-Berkeley. In 2013-2014 I taught Latin American history in Berkeley's history department. From 2011 to 2013 I was an Andrew W. Mellon Fellow in the Humanities at Stanford University. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in 2011, graduating with distinction. My book offers new interpretations of the major international cultural “front” groups of Latin America’s Cold War: the World Peace Council, the Congress for Cultural Freedom, and the Casa de las Américas. I write both for other scholars and for a broader public; there are links to my published writings below. In general, my research interests include the politics of culture and intellectuals, global social democracy, poverty, imperialism, and the added value of transnational approaches to history.
