Following the passing of former US president Jimmy Carter last December, the LMC speaks with Jorge Cuellar about the dark and complicated legacy of his foreign policy in Central America and why it still remains relevant today.
Jorge Cuellar is an assistant professor of Latin American, Latino & Caribbean Studies @ Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.
Last December, four Afro-Latino boys were taken by the Ecuadorian military and were never seen alive again. On this episode, the LMC speaks with freelance writer Claudia O’Brien Moscoso about the case of the Guayaquil Four and how it raises the question of institutional racism and political instability in Ecuador.
As a new Trump administration sets its sights on ending DEI and CRT, the LMC spends the hour with Nolan Cabrera, a professor of Educational Policy Studies and Practice @ the University of Arizona in Tucson, to revisit Arizona’s ethnic studies ban of the mid-2000s and how it remains relevant today.
Nolan Cabrera is also the author of, “Banned: The Fight for Mexican American Studies in the Streets and in the Courts.”
The Latino Media Collective is a grassroots Latino public-affairs program that airs on Pacifica station WPFW 89.3fm on Fridays @ 1pm EST in Washington DC.
