In the month of November, two Category 4 hurricanes struck the Afro-Indigenous Moskitia region of Central America -- a region that was already in the throes of a COVID-19 outbreak. In this event, two Miskitu activists and one Afro-Creole political leader from the region reflect on the wider sociopolitical and economic context giving shape to the hurricanes and their aftermath.
Panelists:
Lottie Cunningham, President of the Center for Justice and Human Rights of the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua (CEJUDHCAN)
Cendela López, President of Mairen Indian Miskitu Asla Takanka (MIMAT, Honduras)
George Henriquez, Afro-Kriol Leader (Nicaragua)
Moderator:
Fernando Montero, Postdoctoral Fellow, Society of Fellows in the Humanities
