the_future_modernes“The Obama administration now has both the continuing Honduran crisis and a divided hemisphere on its hands, with no solution in sight,” reads a new article in The Nation today. The U.S. has decided to recognize the result of the recent elections in Honduras, despite ongoing reports that the elections were boycotted and that the people consider them an extension of the coup. But will the coup in Honduras create larger problems for Latin America? What will its effects mean for the rest of Latin America, a region trending leftward in recent years? Greg Grandin, Nation contributor, NYU professor, and author of Empire’s Workshop and Fordlandia,Roque Planas of Latin American News Dispatch, and Sujatha Fernandes, Queens College professor and author of Cuba Represent! and the upcoming Who Can Stop The Drums: Urban Social Movements in Chavez’s Venezuelajoin us in studio to discuss. We also have updates from inside Honduras from Andres Conteris of Nonviolence International and Democracy Now! and freelance journalist Elyssa Pachico reports from Chile.
