Monisha Rios on the peace movement and colonialism


Listen Later

Monisha Rios is my guest this week.  Monisha is a veteran and a peace activist and part of the Puerto Rican diaspora.  We talked about the peace movement and the intersection with other movements for liberation, the various forms of colonialism and how people can learn about our own history as a colonial power.

During the broadcast, a number of references were made to other media that can inform people in the US about our own history and how it still impacts those who were its victims and still impacts people throughout the world through the American Empire.  Here are links:

  • Abby Martin’s video for Telesur’s Empire Files:  Israelis Speak Candidly about Palestinians
  • Base Nation: How U.S. Military Bases Abroad Harm America and the World by David Vine
  • A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn
  • An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
  • An African American and Latinx History of the United States by Paul Ortiz
  • A Disability History of the United States by Kim E. Nielsen
  • The Other Slavery:  The Uncovered Story of Indian Enslavement in America by Andres Resendez
  • War Against All Puerto Ricans:  Revolution and Terror in America’s Colony by Nelson A. Denis
  • Monisha assures me she has  a much longer list but my space here is limited.  Email me at [email protected] if you want more of her recommended titles.
