Review Quotes




"Dana Frank ha escrito con agudeza el perfil de una nación en crisis, un libro que alarma, enfurece y, a la vez, humaniza. Su logro más importante es que nunca perdió de vista ni las penurias y traiciones que los hondureños han soportado estos últimos años, ni la dignidad con la que han sobrevivido a todo ello." -DANIEL ALARCÓN, Productor ejecutivo de Radio Ambulante, autor de la novela, At Night We Talk in Circles
"Libre de la jerga académica, al corriente de la Historia moderna hondureña y lleno de vehemencia, este libro testimonial es la mejor obra en inglés acerca del golpe de Estado, que destruyó la democracia del país el 28 de junio de 2009, y la resistencia en contra de este... Casi diez años después del golpe, el libro de Frank transita sin dificultades entre lo social y la vida privada de cientos de hondureños que ha conocido personalmente durante sus muchos años en el país. Frank nos comparte aspectos personales mientras hace referencia a procesos históricos clave y sus legados, un logro en sí importante y necesario; y también valioso porque informa sobre la situación actual de los hondureños que huyen del país a Estados Unidos en búsqueda de asilo tras el golpe de Estado." -DARÍO A. EURAQUE, Profesor de Historia y Estudios Internacionales, Trinity College.
"He dado cobertura a Honduras desde el golpe de 2009. El revelador y humano retrato de la resistencia del país es lectura obligatoria para cualquiera que quiera entender qué es lo que realmente ha estado sucediendo en Honduras y por qué importa." -ADAM RANEY, Periodista, Al Jazeera English y Univisión
English Endorsments:
"I congratulate and thank Dana Frank for giving us this book and for documenting the role of the United States in the long night of terror that we have lived in Honduras since the 2009 coup d'etat. Her contribution to historic memory stands as our witness." -Bertha Oliva, general coordinator, Committee of the Families of the Detained and Disappeared in Honduras
"The Long Honduran Night breaks the deafening silence that has followed recent American intervention in Honduras. It graphically documents the awful legacy of this intervention." -Stephen Kinzer, award-winning author and foreign correspondent
"Free from academic jargon, conversant with modern Honduran history, and steeped in passion, this testimonial book is the best primer, in English, about the coup, and resistance to it, that destroyed Honduran democracy on June 28, 2009. Dana Frank not only registers her solidarity movement and legislative initiatives in the U.S. on behalf of the multifaceted resistance to the coup and defense of Human Rights, her keen outsider's eye brings the novice gaze of contemporary Honduran political life into the country's cities and villages, its valleys and mountains, as well as into demonstrations and street marches, conversations in cabs, radio stations, and more. Almost ten years after the coup, Frank's book transits seamlessly between the social fabric and intimate lives of hundreds of Hondurans she has met personally during her many years in the country. Frank manages this while referencing key historical processes and their current legacies, an important and necessary feat on its own, but also valuable because it informs the current plight of Hondurans who flee their country into the U.S. seeking asylum in the aftermath of 2009 coup." -Dario A. Euraque, Professor of History and International Studies, Trinity College
"Readers who aren't invested in Latin American history or politics may find the political narrative somewhat lackluster, but the author's on-the-ground reports are gripping. Frank even finds times for a bit of dark humor: "When, exactly
