Dana Frank BOOK TALK - The Long Honduran Night

The Long Honduran Night: Resistance, Terror, and the United States in the Aftermath of the Coup
BOOK TALK by Dana Frank

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 7PM at the Resource Center for Nonviolence, 612 Ocean St., Santa Cruz.

Hear UCSC Professor Dana Frank tell about conditions refugees from Honduras face at home, and the US role in creating the crisis. The book is a powerful story of resistance, repression, and US policy in Honduras in the aftermath of the violent 2009 military coup that deposed President Manuel Zelaya.

One way to support refugees seeking asylum at the US border is to learn more about the situation that drives them to leave home countries, and the US role.

Dana Frank interweaves her personal experiences in post-coup Honduras and in the US Congress with a larger analysis of the coup regime and its ongoing repression, Honduran opposition movements, US policy in support of the regime, and Congressional challenges to that policy. Her book helps us understand the root causes of the immigrant caravans of Hondurans leaving for the US, and the destructive impact of US policy.

Suggested donation $5-10. Books will be available for purchase.
