DESCRIPTION:Thursday, April 29, 6-7pm Pacific time\n\nKPFA Radio 94.1 FM 
 presents\n\nAVIVA CHOMSKY & MICKEY HUFF: A Zoom Event\n\nCentral America's 
 Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration 
 \n\nAviva Chomsky restores the region's fraught history of repression and 
 resistance to popular consciousness and connects the United States' 
 interventions and influence to the influx of refugees seeking asylum today. 
 \n\nAt the center of the current immigration debate are migrants from 
 Central America fleeing poverty, corruption, and violence in search of 
 asylum in the United States. In Central America's Forgotten History, Aviva 
 Chomsky answers the urgent question "How did we get here?" She outlines how 
 we often fail to remember the circumstances and ongoing effects of Central 
 America's historical inequality and oppression, a direct result of colonial 
 and neo-colonial development policies and the cultures of violence and 
 forgetting needed to implement them. \n\nChomsky expertly recounts Central 
 Americans' valiant struggles for social and economic justice to restore 
 these vivid and gripping events to popular consciousness. She traces the 
 roots of displacement and migration in Central America to the Spanish 
 conquest and brings us to the present day, where she concludes that the 
 more immediate roots of migration from the three Northern Triangle 
 countries (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) lie in the wars and in the 
 US interventions of the 1980s and the peace accords of the 1990s. 
 \n\nChomsky also examines how and why histories and memories are 
 suppressed, and the impact of losing historical memory. \n\nAviva Chomsky 
 is the author of several books, including Undocumented and "They Take Our 
 Jobs!,"  Chomsky has been active in the Latin American solidarity and 
 immigrants' rights movements for over thirty years. \n\nMickey Huff is the 
 current Director of Project Censored and president of the nonprofit Media 
 Freedom Foundation.\n\nSuggested Donation $5-$20.\n
