The Influence of U.S. Propaganda and Narratives Shaped by Propaganda on the Group Identity of the Child Participants of Operation Pedro Pan

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)

This thesis provides an answer to the question of how propaganda and narratives shaped by propaganda that originated from the U.S. federal government, unintentionally but inevitably, contributed to the group identity of Pedro Panes. Each of the three propaganda styles executed by the U.S. federal government - that is the glorification of the U.S., the condemnation of Cuba, and the propaganda that aimed to expedite the Pedro Panes' Americanization - are covered by a chapter.
