Greg Grandin (born 1962) is an American historian, and professor of history at New York University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYU > History > Greg Grandin )〕 He is author of a number of books, including ''Fordlândia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford’s Forgotten Jungle City'', which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for History, as well as for the National Book Award〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The National Book Foundation )〕 and a National Book Critics Circle Award. A more recent book is entitled ''Who Is Rigoberta Menchú?'' and focuses on the treatment of the Nobel Peace Prize winner in the media. His latest book, ''The Empire of Necessity: Slavery, Freedom, and Deception in the New World,'' is a study of the factual basis for the novella Benito Cereno by Herman Melville. ''Fordlandia'' was named a best book of the year by ''The New York Times'', ''The New Yorker''; NPR; ''The Boston Globe''; ''San Francisco Chronicle''; and the ''Chicago Tribune''.〔 〕 ==Biography== He graduated from Brooklyn College with a B.A. (1992) and from Yale University with a Ph.D. (1999). 〔http://history.fas.nyu.edu/object/history.faculty.grandin.interests〕 He won the Latin American Studies Association's Bryce Wood Award for the best book published in any discipline on Latin America for ''Blood of Guatemala: A History of Race and Nation''. Eric Hobsbawm called ''The Last Colonial Massacre'' a "remarkable and extremely well-written work" that is about more than the dark history of Guatemala and the Cold War in Latin America. It is about how common people discover politics. It is about the roots of democracy and those of genocide. It is about the hopes and defeats of the twentieth-century left. I could not put this book down. Grandin has published widely on US foreign policy, the Cold War, and Latin American politics in ''The Nation'', ''The New York Times'', ''Harpers'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The right quagmire: Searching history for an imperial alibi—By Greg Grandin (Harper's Magazine) )〕 the ''London Review of Books'' and TomDispatch.com.〔http://www.google.com/search?q=%22greg+grandin%22&search=GO&domains=www.tomdispatch.com&sitesearch=www.tomdispatch.com〕 He has appeared on the ''Charlie Rose Show'' and has interviewed Naomi Klein〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Body Shock: A 40th Anniversary Conversation with )〕 and Hugo Chávez.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=October 12, 2009 )〕 In the summer of 2009, he reported from Honduras on that country's coup, appearing a number of times on ''Democracy Now!''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Defying Coup Regime, Zelaya Attempts Return to Honduras )〕 and Grit TV〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GRITtv: Greg Grandin: Echoes of the 80s In Honduras )〕 and writing a series of reports in ''The Nation'' and elsewhere on the consequences of the overthrow of Honduran president Manuel Zelaya. Grandin worked as a consultant with the Historical Clarification Commission (Spanish: Comisión para el Esclarecimiento Histórico, or CEH), the Guatemalan truth commission, and has written a number of articles on its methodology, including its genocide ruling〔http://www.cambridge.org/us/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521527503) (http://muse.jhu.edu/login?uri=/journals/nepantla/v001/1.2grandin.html〕 and its use of historical analysis. Grandin was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2010. Grandin was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in April 2010.〔http://www.amacad.org/news/a2z10.pdf〕 He lives in Brooklyn. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greg Grandin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
