Kawsachun News interview with Grahame Russell, Rights Action

Beginning another year of exposing, denouncing and resisting the on-going imperialism of the U.S. and Canada in the western hemisphere, Rights Action adds our thanks for the life, vision and spirit of Chuck Kaufman.

Dear friends,

Below, you will find a range of reviews, articles and commentaries about our recently published book.

Catherine Nolin and Grahame Russell both teach in the Geography Department at the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George; she’s department chair and he’s an adjunct professor. [Since 1995, Grahame is director of Rights Action, a not-for-profit organization that supports land, environmental, human rights and justice defense struggles in Guatemala and Honduras, including most of the land and rights defenders profiled in TESTMONIO.]

“That the harms, evictions and violence caused by Canadian companies are occurring in Guatemala and elsewhere does not make these issues any less ‘Canadian’. Once defined as significantly ‘Canadian’ problems, it becomes clearer what needs to be done, and where.”

“large payments, through middlemen, to the police and the military”

12 years / 5 months after a U.S. and Canadian-backed military coup ousted Honduras’ last democratic government, actual democratic elections took place. The U.S. / Canadian-backed, drug-trafficking, military-backed candidate did NOT win.
