Kua mate a Blase Bonpane. He mema o ia World BEYOND War's Speakers Bureau. Ko Bonpane te kaiwhakahaere o te Tuhinga o mua. I mahi ia i runga i nga pukenga o UCLA me California State University Northridge.
Kua taia ana tuhinga ki te ao, a, i mahi ia hei koha ki te Los Angeles Times me te New York Times.
I mahi a Blase hei pirihi Maryknoll i Guatemala i te wa o te pakanga whakaohooho o te tekau tau atu i 1960. No ta ’na ohipa i roto i te mau faanahonahoraa a te feia faaapu, ua tiavaruhia oia i tera fenua i te matahiti 1967 ra.
I tana hokinga ki te United States, i noho a Bonpane me tona whanau ki te tari matua o United Farm Workers me César Chávez, i reira ko ia te etita o nga pukapuka UFW.
Ko Bonpane te kaiwhakataki i te kaupapa reo irirangi ia wiki World Focus on Pacifica Radio (KPFK, Los Angeles). I whakaingoatia ia "te tangata tino iti rawa o te tekau tau" na te Los Angeles Weekly.
I te tau 2006, i whakawhiwhia ia ki te Tohu Rangatiratanga Whakanuia mo te rangimarie e te Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.
Ko ana pukapuka ko: Ka taea te iwi (Red Hen Press, 2008); He Korero Maatau mo te Rua tekau ma tahi o nga Tau (2004); Nga Pakanga o te Rangimarie: I runga i te Rererangi (2000); a Guerrillas of Peace: Liberation Theology and the Central American Revolution (iUniverse, 2000, putanga tuatoru).
