Who Killed Berta Caceres?

Más información sobre el libro

The very first time Honduran environmental activist Berta Cáceres met the writer Nina Lakhani, Cáceres said, "The army has an assassination list with my name at the top. I want to live, but in this country there is total impunity. When they want to kill me, they will do it." In 2015, Cáceres won the Goldman prize, the world's leading environmental award, for her leadership of indigenous organizations against illegal logging and the construction of four giant dams. The next year she was murdered. 0Lakhani tracked Cáceres's remarkable career in the face of years of threats--two fellow environmental campaigners were killed before her--and the journalist also endured threats and harassment herself. She was the only foreign journalist to attend the 2018 trial of Cáceres's killers, where security officials of the dam builders were found guilty of planning her death. Many questions about who ordered the killing remain. 0Drawing on years of familiarity with Cáceres , her family, and her movement, as well as interviews with company and government officials, Lakhani paints an intimate portrait of a remarkable woman as well as a state beholden to both corporate control and US power
