Watch interviews with Duke Press authors on our YouTube channel.

We Are Not Dreamers editors Leisy J. Abrego and Genevieve Negrón-Gonzales discuss the book's intervention with contributors Katy Joseline Maldonado Dominguez, Maria Liliana Ramirez, and Carolina Valdivia, especially their collective critique of the "DREAMer narrative," the ethics of producing a book by and about Undocumented and formerly-Undocumented people, and the importance of community. Plus, meet all of the contributors in this brief video.

Gastón Gordillo, Professor of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, talks with Kregg Hetherington, author of The Government of Beans: Regulating Life in the Age of Monocrops, and Amalia Leguizamón, author of Seeds of Power: Environmental Injustice and Genetically Modified Soybeans in Argentina, about soybeans in Paraguay and Argentina and the relationship to governance, power, the environment, and social justice.

Bret Gustafson, author of Bolivia in the Age of Gas and Thea Riofrancos, author of Resource Radicals: From Petro-Nationalism to Post-Extractivism in Ecuador, respond to interview questions from The Baffler, about natural gas and oil extraction in Bolivia and Ecuador and the relationship between leftist governments and environmental activists, the difficulties of creating a non-extractivist socialist state in the context of global capitalism, and their critiques of the concept of the "resource curse." Or, read the transcript on The Baffler website.

Senior Executive Editor Ken Wissoker talks with Vanessa Díaz about her new book, Manufacturing Celebrity: Latino Paparazzi and Women Reporters in Hollywood, and about her experiences as a celebrity journalist, the impact of #MeToo and #OscarsSoWhite, and the lives of paparazzo.

Jocelyn Olcott, Professor of History and International Comparative Studies and Director of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University, talks with Vanessa Freije about her book, Citizens of Scandal: Journalism, Secrecy, and the Politics of Reckoning in Mexico, and about finding an archive for studying the creation of scandals and the role that scandals have in imagining a shared common sense.
