Danny and Derek talk about Ukraine (0:34), the Yemen ceasefire extension (20:18), and the Colombian election (23:59). They then speak with Alexander Aviña (27:34), associate professor of history at Arizona State University, about his book Specters of Revolution: Peasant Guerrillas in the Cold War Mexican Countryside
Another great show. Useful overview by Derick and educational interview with Alex. I'm American but my knowledge of Mexican history is shamefully low so, I enjoyed learning something brand new.
I'd heard about the Zapas in Chiapas, not about Guerrero. I love me some peasant guerrillas. Great episode!

Mexico is, always has been, and always will be...the heart of any "American" empire
