“Honduras:
Post-Coup and the War against the Resistance Movements”
Wednesday,
March 24, 2010
Thousand
Oaks Library, 1401 E. Janss @ N#23
7:00
P.M- 8:30 P.M.
Since the June, 2009 coup which overthrew Manuel
Zelaya, the legally elected President of Honduras, repression of protesters
through beatings, detentions and disappearances has resurfaced in Honduras. This is
sadly reminiscent of the 1980's and the “dirty wars.” (Contra Wars)
What are the US-Honduras connections?
Why was President Zelaya kidnapped and flown to Costa
Rica. Why was another
person, chosen by the military, put in his place?
Why does Honduras require the attention of US
Citizens?
Join us on March 24, 2010 when our speaker, Breny
Mendoza, PhD, will discuss the post-coup situation and the status of women in
Honduras.
Dr. Mendoza is Associate
Professor of Gender and Women's Studies at California State University, Northridge.
Dr. Mendoza has lived and worked in Europe and Latin America as well as
the United
States. She has been a
consultant to international organizations such as the United Nations, the
European Union, GTZ-German government and others. She is the
author of three books and numerous essays and monographs.
A
question and answer period will follow the
presentation.
The
program is free and open to the public.
