LMC favorite Jorge Cuellar returns to the show to discuss La Matanza in 1932, one of the worse massacres on indigenous people in Latin America, and why it still shapes the socioeconomic inequality in El Salvador
Jorge Cuellar is an Assistant Professor of Latin American, Latino & Caribbean Studies @ Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.
As human rights violations continue to mount in El Salvador, U.S. lawmakers are looking to whitewash the abuses of Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele. So the LMC spends the hour with Alexis Stoumbelis, the Executive Director of the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES), to break down who is involved and what it means for Salvadoran democracy under the continued state of exception.
In the lead up to the upcoming film, “The Most Beautiful Deaths in the World”, the LMC spends the hour with Ana Patricia Rodriguez and Hugo Najera on how the film tells the story of Washington’s Salvadoran community through art, injustice, and perseverance.
Ana Patricia Rodriguez is an Associate Professor of U.S. Latina/o and Central American Literatures & the School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures @ the University of Maryland in College Park.
Hugo Najera is a member of the Yellow House Collective as well as a co-producer and music composer for the film.
