As the country continues to see mass arrests of migrants in courtrooms and in viral videos, the LMC spends the hour with Ernesto Castaneda from the Immigration Lab and the Center for Latino American and Latino Studies at American University to discuss migrant realities vs the myths that lead to racist, xenophobic government policies.
Ernesto Castaneda is also the author of, “Challenging Common Misperceptions.”
Following shocking allegations implicating former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro in a plot to assassinate current president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the LMC spends the hour with Olavo Passos de Souza, a doctoral student in history at Stanford University in California, about what these allegations mean to the fragile state of democracy in Brazil.
On this episode, the LMC speaks with George Ygarza about Latin America’s solidarity with Palestinian self-determination and it both challenges recent events in Gaza and calls into question the justification of Zionism.
George Ygarza is a translator, popular educator, and postdoctoral researcher at Binghamton University in New York. He is also a member of the Faculty for Justice in Palestine.
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.
