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.
While the rest of Chile work to seriously challenge the Pinochet-era constitution, the point of view through the eyes of the indigenous Mapuche people tells us that the country still has a long way to go. So the LMC spends the hour with freelance writer Carole Concha Bell on the continued struggle for Mapuche rights and how things won’t change overnight.
151 years after the genocidal War of the Triple Alliance nearly wiped out Paraguay, the LMC speaks with freelance writer William Costa on the lasting economic and political legacy of Latin America’s equivalent to a European-style World War.
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.
