"We think they'll kill someone" indigenous resistance in Oaxaca, Mexico, with Anjan Sundaram, The Stringer Foundation
About this episode
Indigenous peoples around the world are under threat, especially from massive development projects engineered by governments and corporations, which promise to destroy the lands, forests and waters on which those peoples depend. In an article that appeared in a recent issue of The New York Review of Books, “We Think They'll Kill Someone” journalist Anjan Sundaram reported on one such project in the Southern Mexico Oaxacan town of San Blas Atempa, where a new factory will wipe out a communally owned forest.
Join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation with Sundaram. He is an Indian author, war reporter, academic, television presenter and founder of The Stringer Foundation. He is the author of three memoirs of journalism, Stringer, Bad News and Breakup. His forthcoming book, Double Exposure: Two Reporters in the Climate War, is scheduled for publication this coming fall.
