Ottawa and Empire: Canada and the Military Coup in Honduras

Ottawa and Empire: Canada and the Military Coup in Honduras by Tyler Shipley
English | May 10th, 2018 | ISBN: 1771133147 | 222 Pages | EPUB | 0.94 MB

In June 2009, the democratically elected president of Honduras was kidnapped and whisked out of the country while the military and business elite consolidated a coup d’etat. To the surprise of many, Canada implicitly supported the coup and assisted the coup leaders in consolidating their control over the country.

Since the coup, Canada has increased its presence in Honduras, even while the country has been plunged into a human rights catastrophe, highlighted by the assassination of prominent Indigenous activist Berta Cáceres in 2016. Drawing from the Honduran experience, Ottawa and Empire makes it clear that Canada has emerged as an imperial power in the 21st century.
