Following a series of protests against mining contracts with foreign companies in Panama, the LMC speaks with Jorge Cuellar about a major legal victory for environmental activists in Panama and what it means for the rest of Central America.
Jorge Cuellar is an Assistant Professor of Latin American, Latino & Caribbean Studies @ Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.
The LMC begins the new year by spending the hour with freelance media producer Michael Fox to discuss the one-year anniversary of the Brazilian insurrection by right-wing supporters of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro. Michael Fox is the producer of the podcast, Brazil on Fire.
The LMC wraps up 2023 with freelance writer Arturo Dominguez to discuss a tumultuous year that included xenophobia, mass shootings, Islamophobia, and anti-LGBTQ legislation. We’ll also discuss how numerous, successful labor strikes gives us hope for a better 2024.
