Thank you to Verso Books & NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy!
Often when I read about incredible activists, the journey almost seems surreal, their bravery and willingness to risk life and limb for what is right. Nina Lakhani's expose "Who Killed Berta Caceres?" is no different.
Through detailed interviews, police reports, transcriptions, and eyewitness reports, Lakhani meticulously details the rise and ultimate demise of the great environmentalist. Starting in 1993, when she founded the Consejo Cívico de Organizaciones Indígenas Populares (COPINH) to 2016 when she was ultimately murdered by the state, Berta Caceres has been a relentless voice for the Lenca and other indigenous groups in Honduras.
What is remarkable about Lakhani's book is the way Caceras is humanized. She is a woman who had difficulty communicating with her family, a woman who was determined to defend her people's land, a woman who was quick witted and humorous. She was another powerful woman silenced by the state.
