Prof. Aviva Chomsky joined Mickey for a Zoom lecture in April 2021, an event presented by Project Censored and KPFA radio.

The occasion was the release of her new book, which revisits Central American history, especially the wars of the 1980s and

their ongoing consequences. This week's program presents excerpts from that event.
