Everybody loves a good Banana. They’re the perfect quick little snack to grab on your way out the door, or a soother for the tummy if it’s not quite right. Pair it with some peanut butter and you’ve almost got yourself a meal. Seriously, what would we do without bananas? Bananas were a booming business due to the North American demand for the delicious fruity fruit, and it was easy to grow throughout Central and South America. This crop, along with the ever popular coffee plantations, took over the countries agricultural lands. While banana business was big, it was also a challenging and demanding job, mainly only producing profits for the small group of people that owned the large chunks of land. Augusto Sandino’s Political Manifesto argues against the consumption culture that the United States has imposed upon Latin America, stating that his beliefs weren’t influences by the political aspects of it, just that the United States needed to keeps its nose out of their business, much like many other countries think regarding the U.S. Ariel Dorfman also mentioned how the U.S, Disney in particular, treats “underdeveloped peoples like children” (201), presenting the idea of white supremacy in the imperialist culture that is still ever present today. The same themes throughout history seem to be on repeat; oppression, discrimination, racism, are all such distinct issues that are often times addressed in patronizing ways as the white men of the world try to sort their problems out before ever looking at the rest of the world and our needs.
