Description

In more ways than one, global actors are involved and invested in the tourist industry in Honduras. The land issues surrounding the industry, particularly in Afro-indigenous Garifuna territory, overlap with state measures to control and manage land in the name of environmental protection and conservation.We hear from Dr. Chris Loperena, an assistant professor of anthropology who acted as an expert witness in the InterAmerican Court of Human Rights in the case brought forward by the Garifuna community Triunfo de la Cruz against the Honduran state.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/honduras-now-podcast/donations
