A Rude Awakening

Decolonization and Native Resistance in Chile After the Uprising

On today’s episode of A Rude Awakening, host Sabrina Jacobs speaks with Gary Hughes of Biofuel Watch about decolonization, the Mapuche struggle against neoliberalism and industrial resource extraction, and Chile’s constitutional reset after months of unrest. Hughes also speaks to what it means that the US is switching from the climate denialism of Trump to the soft, neoliberalism of Biden that seeks to protect industry above the earth and human communities.

We then speak again with the executive director of Oakland Institute and get news updates from the Green News Report.
