We talk about the rise of hate violence and Islamophobia with two members of the Alliance of South Asians Taking Action, and we’ll hear a discussion of the recent highly publicized gang rape in India and the protest movement around that, provided by Asia Pacific Express. And we remember two of our fierce cultural warriors: La Brava, poet, activist and producer on La Onda Bajita here at KPFA, and historian Gerda Lerner, who founded one of the nation’s first women’s studies programs.
