On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from Brazilian educator and author Henrique Parra in Sao Paulo. Henrique raises a key and important critique surrounding the urgency of understanding and engaging with the demand for digital sovereignty. In the context of Brazil this is important, as US based tech giants want to impose and influence politics in Brazil, this equals repression.

Recently Henrique supported the publication of an important paper: THE DIGITAL AND THE SOUTH: QUESTIONINGS
