In the last few weeks, Honduras has hit the international press, and not for good reasons. Host Karen Spring discusses violence, trauma, and Honduran culture and challenges with Faridd Sierra, a Honduran that grew up in the U.S. but has since moved back to live in Honduras. Since returning, Faridd has been closely following the human rights, political, and social situation in Honduras and tweets regularly at @AllThingsHonduras

The resources mentioned by Faridd in this episode:

• The Long Honduran Night: Resistance, Terror, and the United States in the Aftermath of the Coup by Dana Frank
• Ottawa and Empire: Canada and the military coup in Honduras by Tyler Shipley
• Cipotes, by Ramón Amaya Amador
• Prisión Verde, by Ramón Amaya Amador (the last two may be difficult to find in the U.S. and Canada).
• Song: La Huelga, by Mario de Mezapa (or any song by him)
