Following the election of Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of former Peruvian dictator Alberto Fujimori, the LMC speaks with professor Javier Puente on how Peru’s democratic process lies on thin ice in the face of further neoliberal austerity measures known as Fujimorismo.
Javier Puente is the Chair and Associate Professor of Latin American and Latino/a Studies @ Smith College in Northampton, MA.
Abayomi Azikiwe, the editor of the Pan-African News Wire, joins the LMC to discuss grassroots mobilization in Detroit against ICE and the intersection between immigrant rights and the Motown’s rich civil rights history.
