SUMMARY:RACHEL KLEINFELD at Books Inc. Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Rachel Kleinfeld discusses her comprehensive work\, A Savage Order: How the World’s Deadliest Countries Can Forge a Path to Security. \nThe most violent places in the world today are not at war. More people have died in Mexico in recent years than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. These parts of the world are instead buckling under a maelstrom of gangs\, organized crime\, political conflict\, corruption\, and state brutality. Such devastating violence can feel hopeless\, yet some places–from Colombia to the Republic of Georgia–have been able to recover. \nIn this powerfully argued and urgent book\, Rachel Kleinfeld examines why some democracies\, including our own\, are crippled by extreme violence and how they can regain security. Drawing on fifteen years of study and firsthand field research–interviewing generals\, former guerrillas\, activists\, politicians\, mobsters\, and law enforcement in countries around the world–Kleinfeld tells the stories of societies that successfully fought seemingly ingrained violence and offers penetrating conclusions about what must be done to build governments that are able to protect the lives of their citizens. \nTaking on existing literature and popular theories about war\, crime\, and foreign intervention\, A Savage Order is a blistering yet inspiring investigation into what makes some countries peaceful and others war zones\, and a blueprint for what we can do to help. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nWednesday\, April 3\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nBooks Inc.\n1491 Shattuck Ave\n\nBerkeley\, CA

SUMMARY:Dana Frank: The Long Honduran Night in the Aftermath of the Coup
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM & St. John’s Presbyterian Church present: \nDANA FRANK\n“The Long Honduran Night: Resistance\, Terror\, and the United States in the Aftermath of the Coup” \nadvance tickets: $12: T: 800-838-3006 or independent bookstores\, $15 door\, benefits KPFA Radio 94.1FM info: kpfa.org/events \nAs the United States continues to tear-gas and imprison asylum seekers on the U.S.-Mexico border\, we wonder why so many Hondurans are fleeing their homeland\, now one of the most violent countries in the world due to a devastating drug war and a political crisis stemming largely from a U.S.-backed coup. Dana Frank’s powerful narrative recounts the tumultuous time in Honduras that witnessed then-President Manuel Zelaya overthrown in 2009. Told through first-person experiences layered with deeper political analysis\, this narrative weaves together two perspectives; first\, the broad picture of Honduras since the coup\, including the coup itself and its continuation in two repressive regimes; secondly\, the evolving Honduran resistance movement\, plus an emerging solidarity movement in the United States. \nWhile full of disturbing incidents\, this narrative directly counters mainstream media coverage that portrays Honduras as a pit of unrelenting awfulness\, in which powerless sobbing mothers cry over bodies in the morgue. Rather\, it’s about sobering challenges and the inspiring collective strength with which people can face them. \nDana Frank\, Professor of History Emerita at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, is the author of Baneras: Women Transforming the Banana Unions of Latin America. Since the 2009 military coup her articles about human rights and U.S. policy in Honduras have appeared in The Nation\, New York Times\, Politico Magazine\, Foreign Affairs.com\, The Baffler\, Los Angeles Times\, Miami Herald\, and many others\, and she has testified before both the US Congress and Canadian Parliament. \nDiana Martinez is KPFA’s senior producer for Letters and Politics. \n$12 advance\, $15 door. \nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM.
