Join Americas Society in New York on January 15 for a conversation between Americas Quarterly Editor-in-Chief Brian Winter and Alex Cuadros, author of When We Sold God’s Eye: Diamonds, Murder, and a Clash of Worlds in the Amazon (Grand Central Publishing, December 2024). In his latest book, Cuadros tells the unbelievable true story of the Cinta Larga, a tribe that had no contact with the outside world until the 1960s and came to run an illegal diamond mine in the Amazon.
