He wrote a Monthly Review book review of Nick Estes and Jaskiran Dhillion’s edited collection “Standing with Standing Rock,” and co-wrotea chapter on Indigenous research ethics in “Research Ethics for Human Geography: A Handbook for Students” (SAGE Publishing).  Zoltán has also published political geography articles in Common Dreams, Counterpunch, and other publications on militant far-right movements, military deployments against U.S. protests, the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
