We continue our showcase on Women’s History Month by examining how the Colombian peace process affects the struggle for Women and Worker’s rights. Live in studio with me was Colombian human rights attorney Claudia Erazo and former Congressman and Mayor of San Jose de Guaviare, Pedro Arenas Garcia. Special thanks again to the Colombia Human Rights Commission for help on this show.
2016: Women in War
For Women’s History Month, Jocelyn Viterna returns to discuss her book, “Women In War: The Micro-Processes of Mobilization in El Salvador.”
2016: Puerto Rican Migration
Amid the growing debate over immigration in the US, the island of Puerto Rico plays no role in the debate because of its status as a colony/commonwealth. However, our guest suggests that the history of Puerto Rican migration to the US before its colonial status offers us a vital frame of reference for today’s debate. Lilia Fernandez is a Prof of History @ Ohio State Univ and author of “Brown in the Windy City: Mexicans and Puerto Ricans in post-war Chicago.”
