Since producing his radio documentary in 1994, Alan Weisman has maintained an avid interest in Gaviotas. He’s returned to the village several times in the past few years, and has just finished writing a book that updates the Gaviotas story. It’s called “Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the World,” and it’s published by the Chelsea Green Press. He spoke with Steve Curwood from station K-U-A-T in Tucson, Arizona.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
