It's a fight by local "land defenders" against foreign multinationals carving up the island for tourism, "freedom," and tax reduction purposes. Developers are destroying the island's resources, including food security, culture, and livelihoods This case is part of a larger problem with the Carribean's legacy as slave colonies. - Check out the MIP YouTube Channel - This is going to be the final episode of Season 1 of MIP's Black Studies Podcast Series, we hope you've enjoyed it!
