 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.  \n\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.\n\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.\n\nDiana Martinez is KPFA's 
 senior producer for Letters and Politics.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
