Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze the strength of the United States' cultural influence in Latin American countries, focusing mainly on the good neighbor policy, created by F.D. Roosevelt, in the first half of the 1930s. Our study begins with the creation of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs (OCIAA) - later called the Office of Inter-American Affairs (OIAA) - in August 1940. We will focus on the influence exerted by this body on the production and exhibition of films in Latin American countries, in addition to examining other aspects of the influence of American culture on those countries, such as radio, music, literature, and photography. The article has an in-depth look at the influence of the United States on Brazil, but we do not forget the other Latin American countries in this analysis.
