Amid a failed coup attempt in Bolivia, a split within the leftist MAS party, and allegations of a “self-coup”, the LMC spends the hour with Gabriel Hetland to break down a series of events in Bolivia that raises more questions than answers for the struggling presidency of Luis Arce.
Gabriel Hetland is an associate professor of Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx studies at SUNY Albany in New York.
Following the death of former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the LMC speaks with American journalist John Dinges, the author of “The Condor Years: The Secret History of South America’s Assassination Alliance,” on Kissinger’s dark legacy in Latin America.
As corporate media continues to paint Bolivia as a backwards country while whitewashing the US-supported coup in 2019, the LMC spends the hour with Joe Emersberger to set the record straight on the continued absurdity and hypocrisy of media coverage regarding Bolivia. Joe Emersberger is a freelance writer, engineer, and member of the UNIFOR trade union in Canada.
The Latino Media Collective is a grassroots Latino public-affairs program that airs on Pacifica station WPFW 89.3fm on Fridays @ 1pm EST in Washington DC.
