ABSTRACT
The US-led Pan American Union, created in 1890, is generally understood as a form of soft power serving Washington’s interests abroad. Until the end of WWII, it also meant educating US citizens about their new hemispheric responsibilities by promoting Latin American culture, through scientific cooperation, language teaching, art and literature.
