This week DRCNet continues our series of interviews with prominent participants in the "Out from the Shadows" Latin America summit and campaign. We interview Dr. Francisco Fernandez, Chairman of the Anthropology Dept. and recent former Rector of the Autonomous University of the Yucatán (Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán, or UADY), our host in Mérida, and Al Giordano, founder of Narco News, our key partner organizing the Mérida conference.
