Winston-Salem, N.C. — Wake Forest University School of Divinity Earley Associate Professor of Catholic and Latin American Studies Elizabeth O’Donnell Gandolfo, told Sojourners that claims that the U.S. will rule Venezuela after the capture of Maduro and Flores are “extreme extensions of more than a century of U.S. interference in Latin American political and economic affairs.” She sees the abduction of Maduro as connected to a long history of economic exploitation in Latin America, long criticized by Latin American theologians.
