Summary of The Long Honduran Night: Resistance , Terror, and the United States in the Aftermath of the Coup
"The Long Honduran Night: Resistance, Terror, and the United States in the Aftermath of the Coup" by Dana Frank offers a profound exploration of the resilience and struggles in Honduras following the 2009 coup that deposed President Manuel Zelaya. This historical narrative, published on November 27, 2018, provides an in-depth analysis of the political turmoil and the subsequent impact on human rights, immigrant rights, racial justice, and environmental justice. Through the lens of both the broad political landscape and the personal stories of resistance, including that of social justice leader Berta Cáceres, the book challenges mainstream media’s portrayal of Honduras and highlights the undying spirit of its people. Ideal for college students studying social justice, this work not only educates but inspires a deeper understanding and solidarity with the global fight for justice.
