Liberation movements then and now: Interview with author and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz is a prolific author who connects the personal with the political. Her work has taken her around the world. One of her best known works recounts her experiences in Nicaragua between 1982 and 1991. It's called Blood on the Border: A Memoir of the Contra war. She spoke with me about the history of liberation movements, her work with the UN Indigenous Rights working group, pipelines and the state of activism today. Ortiz spoke in Vancouver on March 8, 2014, International Women's Day. Her books can be found at www.reddirtsite.com
