Nancy Stout, author of One Day in December: Celia Sanchez and the Cuban Revolution, a biography of Celia Sánchez, a leading architect of Cuba's revolution, published by Monthly Review Press with a foreword by Alice Walker.

Celia is a fascinating, complex woman who is not well known in this country.  In Cuba though she is a heroine, credited with being Fidel's second-in-command, if not his equal. In this interview, Stout tells us about the history of women in Cuba's wars and provides insight into the mysteries of the Celia-Fidel relationship.

Recorded in Lahore in March 2013, Hydr Ibrahim, Pakistani architect and co-founder of Resettling the Indus, talks about the grass roots social movement that is rebuilding flood- and war-ravaged villages in the Punjab, Sindh and South Waziristan regions of the Indus valley.

Recorded in Lahore last month, Hydr Ibrahim, Pakistani architect and founder of Resettling the Indus, talks about the grass roots social movement that is rebuilding flood- and war-ravaged villages in the Punjab, Sindh and South Waziristan regions of the Indus valley.

This is a surprising story to come from Pakistan, a country more often associated these days with the brutal side of humanity.  It is also a grand story of a new generation of citizen-builders, envisioning, resettling and bringing new life out of what was destroyed.

More about Resettling the Indus here.
