Following the election of Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of former Peruvian dictator Alberto Fujimori, the LMC speaks with professor Javier Puente on how Peru’s democratic process lies on thin ice in the face of further neoliberal austerity measures known as Fujimorismo.
Javier Puente is the Chair and Associate Professor of Latin American and Latino/a Studies @ Smith College in Northampton, MA.
Following the impeachment and ouster of Dina Boluarte as Peru’s president, the LMC speaks with freelance writer Lucero Chavez on how Generation Z led the protest to remove her from office.
In the latest installment of the Undocumented & LGBTQ series, the LMC spends the hour with Malú Machuca Rose to discuss the unique challenges of Peru’s LGBTQ community and how the country’s civil war from generations ago still hinder the struggle for equal rights.
