Preface: Peasant Resistance and Territoriality in Honduras Paper Arrows

Episode 1 kicks off a six-part, podcast edition of Paper Arrows: Peasant Resistance and Territoriality in Honduras. This podcast, based on original field research and narrated by the study's author, Daniel Graham, tells the story of storytelling in rural Olancho Department, Honduras. The Preface serves as a glorified teaser, which is why we have released the Kraken first two episodes of the podcast simultaneously.
This podcast is a serial and should be listened to from beginning to end. Please start here, with Episode 1.
The podcast features a few minor departures from the written text of the author's master's thesis in Geography (U.C. Berkeley, 2002), "Paper Arrows: Peasant Resistance and Territoriality in Honduras." If you would like to receive a digital copy of the thesis, you may request one from the author.
One thing I'm doing differently from the original text, I'm finding, is to gloss over some of the citations and footnotes. Please do hit me up for a copy of my thesis to gain a fuller appreciation of my intellectual debts. I will post it soon to my currently-out-of-date personal website, danielgrahamphd.wordpress.com. I will also update show notes to include more bibliographic information, as time permits. Meanwhile, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the centrality of Mark Bonta's contributions to my thinking and my thesis. Our conversations, and his 2001 dissertation, Mapping Enredos of Complex Spaces: A Regional Geography of Olancho, Honduras, animated and guided my work. You can find it online.

I owe a great intellectual debt to my research participants as well as to many journalists, historians, and social-science researchers. In the podcast, I sometimes shorthand the fuller citations contained in the written version of my master's thesis. Here, however, are the works I cite in that volume:
