It argues that Pan Americanism provided an opportunity for everyday Americans to imagine themselves participating in the construction of U.S. power, and, when contrasted with the rise of Nazi Germany, to exalt the Pan American model as an example of U.S. anti-imperialism and moral power. As the consumer culture surrounding Pan Americanism was a rather hermetic production, it did not provide space for criticism; however, its popularity did open the possibility for civil rights and political activists to use the Good Neighbor Policy and the public enthusiasm for anti-imperialist discourse as a moral platform to question U.S. discriminatory policies. Este artículo examina el auge del panamericanismo popular en los Estados Unidos, y argumenta que su cultura de consumo evoca nuevas ideas acerca de los modos en que los estadounidenses imaginaban su papel personal en las relaciones internacionales de su país. Explora la historia de la idea del panamericanismo dentro de Estados Unidos, analiza la cultura de consumo que generó durante la década de 1940 y las construcciones imaginarias acerca de las relaciones culturales. Demuestra que los participantes imaginaron el panamericanismo como una oportunidad de caracterizar a su nación como algo esencialmente distinto del imperio nazi y a creer que estaban participando de la creación de una cultura política antimperialista. Mientras que muchos activistas panamericanistas decidieron ignorar las claras contradicciones existentes entre el discurso de la Política de Buena Vecindad y, por ejemplo, la discriminación legalizada de los latinos dentro de Estados Unidos, los activistas por los derechos civiles vieron en la idea de Estados Unidos como líder moral una plataforma que les permitía promover su propia causa.
